"No FeIicitation, I Had Lunch": VD Satheesan On Meal During Flood Review

Kerala opposition leader VD Satheesan has vehemently dismissed allegations surrounding him having lunch during a flood review meeting as a "malicious smear campaign." Satheesan, who is also the leader of the opposition in the state assembly, stated that he reached Ponnani around 3 p.m. and found nothing wrong with having a meal at that time.

Satheesan asserted that the controversy was politically motivated and aimed at tarnishing his image. He emphasized that his arrival time and subsequent actions were being deliberately misrepresented to create a false narrative. The leader maintained that his focus remained on the flood situation and relief efforts, not on fabricated political attacks.

The incident reportedly occurred during a review of flood preparedness and response in Ponnani. While the exact details of the meal and the context of the review were not fully elaborated in the provided text, Satheesan's strong denial suggests a significant political undercurrent to the accusations.
