Only 50 million? oh my God
50 million is a very small amount for the rehabilitaion of flood affected areas. PM is just making jok with the people of GLT/BLN. He is making drama only.

if its an announcement it can be done in ISB
was there a need to spend money inconvenience the people and bring everything to a standstill just to announce a pittance?
