The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has firmly rejected calls to classify the recent landslides in Wayanad as a national disaster. The party's stance, articulated by senior leader V. Muraleedharan, is based on the assertion that such a designation does not exist within the current central government guidelines.

BJP and JD(S) were protesting from the well of the House and claimed the bill to be 'fradulent'.
