He has given an explanation by sharing the answer given in parliament during the congress rule and the same answer given during the bjp rule.
In his X page, he said, "There is no procedure to declare any calamity in any state, at any time, as a national calamity by any government of India. Due to the high interest in tamil Nadu, even the december 2004 tsunami was not declared a national disaster. DMK was part of the United Progressive Alliance at that time.
DMK was still in the alliance during the second regime of UPA. At that time in august 2013 Union home minister Mullapally Ramachandran answered a question in Parliament. It said that there is no provision in the guidelines to declare a natural calamity as a national calamity. After that, again in May 2016, a question was raised in the parliament about declaring it as a national calamity. Even then, the same answer was given.” posted as
