Kumar, who recently visited the flood-affected villages of Fazilka district, described the scale of destruction as "overwhelming," with entire stretches of farmland submerged, crops destroyed, cattle perished, and homes reduced to rubble.
Reacting to his remarks, Kumar said it was the worst statement he has heard and that the BJP minister must be expelled from the state cabinet.
In his letter to the Speaker, the CPI Rajya Sabha MP claimed impropriety of procedure in presenting the report in both Houses of Parliament.
He also criticised the government for not allowing important issues such as price rise and unemployment to be addressed, calling it a "sorry state of affairs".
