While his Makkal Needhi Maiyam has been in the forefront distributing relief materials to flood affected residents in Chennai, his statement that said it is not the time for blame game and saying that for any Government body to reach 1 crore people at the same time is impossible and so all must join in. This many see as Kamal playing up to DMK the party with which he is likely to align. He saying that 2015 floods saw 24 cm but now it is 54 cm is defending DMK. He said that only if people stopped buying wetlands and converting them to dry lands and constructing buildings, flooding will stop. From earlier track record, even in 2015 floods, Kamal said that pray to the rivers and rain as if they are your deities and by that way these rivers will be protected . Coming from an atheist, Kamal showed his need to protect environment and if religion could do so, he did not mind it. The controversial Pathala Pathala song in Vikram too has a few lines on conversion of marshlands into plots to construct buildings.
