"Tripura Govt has given Rs. 1 cr to flood-hit Kerala. People across the state, students, NGO are also donating according to their own capacity. Indeed, whole India now wants to save Kerala and this is India", CM told media.

"Let Kerala stand on its feet. Then we can find out whose fault was behind Kerala flood", CM said.
