On the eve of the 2026 Kerala Assembly Elections, Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnaadan drops a sensational audio clip allegedly exposing how corruption worsened the devastating 2018 Kerala floods. In the recording, former Water Resources Minister Mathew T. Thomas (then JDS) and K. Krishnankutty are heard admitting that the Thottappally spillway was deliberately kept closed for nearly a month — not for public safety, but to protect lucrative black sand mining by a private contractor, allegedly in exchange for hundreds of crores in bribes. Was the 2018 flood disaster made far worse by greed? Watch the full story as Kerala heads to polls on April 9. #mathewkuzhalnadan #pinarayivijayan #kkrishnankutty #mathewtthomas #thottappallyspillway #keralafloods2018 #keralapolitics #floodcontroversy #election2026 #disastermanagement #currentaffairs
