New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS): The CPI-M on Wednesday urged the central government to immediately release, as a special grant, Rs 5,000 crore towards relief and rehabilitation following the deadly floods in Kerala.

A day after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi here, the CPI-M said it appreciated the efforts being made by the Kerala government in the relief and rehabilitation work in the wake of the unprecedented floods.

The CPI-M Politburo urged the central government to immediately accede to the demands made by the Chief Minister including the release of at least Rs 5,000 crore towards meting the expenditures on this score.

"The estimated damage is to the tune of Rs 30,000 crore. The CPI-M on its part has collected and sent tens of crore of rupees to the CM's Relief Fund from all over the country," it said in a statement.

    The Gujju-bhai has to budget the 1.5 lakh crores Bullet Train for the rich Gujaratis.

    He has just recently unveiled the Gujju-care, the national health initiative. The estimated cost for it is 54 lakh crores.

    Why disturb him for some small sums? Natural disasters can wait.

    Rwanda is luckier than Kerala. Our P.M. has been far more generous with funds to a foreign country!

    Priorities for @BJP4India government keralafloods

    His own image Rs.4300 crores
    Kumbh Mela Rs.4200 crores.
    Shivaji statue Rs.3600 crores.
    Patel statue Rs.2989 crores.
    PM travel Rs.1484 crores.
    In Gujarat during the NDA-I tenure of the Vajpayee Government took aid from 60 nations for Gujarat quake but denied aide notably from the United Arab Emirates that reportedly offered Rs 700 crore for the flood relief effort. The BJP government in the state demanded Rs 4,473.47 crore as a relief package after the 2015 floods.

    During Kerala assembly election PM Modi compared the state with 'Somalia'. Today the state affected by natural catastrophe is left die on its own.

    The BJP's PM Modi government that can afford 'Bullet train' that could have saved as much as $3.2 billion on construction of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train system if it had invited bids instead of awarding the project to Japan on a nomination basis.

    But for 'God's own country' reconstruction PM Modi's central government has no money.

    The Patel statue is much more that amount.

    The UK consultants' fee alone is about $250 million.

    It is estimated that the total cost will easily cross 1 billion dollars (7250 crores).
