Abstract

Politicians use moments of crisis to seize opportunities to augment their public image and accumulate political dividends. They seek to make a show of philanthropic gestures in order to realise their political objectives. They visit those affected by natural calamities like floods, storms, cyclones and other extreme climate events as well as disasters like plane crashes. If political leaders do not visit those affected by such tragedies, no great harm will come to pass. We will not hold them responsible for catastrophes not caused by their corruption or wrong policies. We want them to help us by stopping being corrupt. We want them to deliver their promises once they are in power.
