Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday attacked the Modi government over the flood situation in the northeastern states and hoped Prime Minister Narendra Modi would open the floodgates of his PM CARES Fund, where he claimed crores lie without any audit.

Referring to Assam, he said PM Modi had promised in 2016 to make the state flood-free but it seems the BJP`s double-engine governments have betrayed the state.

In a post on X, he noted that the northeast is reeling under devastating floods, landslides and heavy rains.
