CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu rains took centre stage on Sunday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi making a special mention about it on the eve of his departure to Paris for the climate change summit.

In his 'Mann ki Baat' address over Akashvani (AIR) that was highlighted by all official media including Doordarshan, Modi spoke of the unprecedented rainfall in Tamil Nadu within a short time span as an example of how climate change was impacting India. His comment was in line with India's stand on greenhouse emissions at the G-20 summit.

Expressing his empathy with the sufferings of the flood-affected people in Chennai and other parts of the state during the festival season, he said a central team was touring the state. Indirectly lauding the state government's flood relief and rehabilitation efforts and hinting at enhanced central aid, Modi said he was confident that Tamil Nadu would overcome the crisis.

Modi's remarks on the rain havoc in TN come close on the heels of a report submitted by a three-member BJP panel comprising chairman of the public accounts committee K V Thomas and Union ministers Nirmala

Seetharaman and Pon Radhakrishhan who had toured the worst-affected Cuddalore, Kancheepuram and Chennai districts last week.

While many experts don't go as far as to call TN's rain havoc as an instance of climate change, they, however, say it is the kind of freak weather events that the coastal state may have to face often due to climate change in future. They also say that the state should factor climate change into its disaster management.

The PM's views presented by Doordarshan metro channel contained a faux pas as he is quoted as referring to TN rains as unseasonal in this time of the year when the fact is that rains are normal during the north-east monsoon.
