Priyanka Gandhi Vadra pulled no punches in condemning the Union government’s inaction on the Wayanad landslides that claimed numerous lives in Kerala 2024. From her Wayanad base on Saturday, the Congress leader detailed to media how political outfits and locals filled the void left by an unresponsive Centre.
Parliamentary pleas, PM epistles, and Home Minister huddles drew blanks on aid, she disclosed. The lack of ample funding and national disaster declaration persisted despite urgings, rectified minimally post-opposition push—yet cash flows disappoint.
Congress stepped forward boldly, starting 100-home builds under Rahul Gandhi’s gaze. Priyanka participated in IUML’s poignant Thrikkaypetta event, distributing keys to affected homes and praising cross-party collaboration.
She extolled the valor of impromptu rescuers operating pre-official mobilization. Inspections at Churum Bypass in Chippilithod and Barakuppe Bridge in Sultan Bathery rounded off her proactive day. Her words spotlight systemic lapses, urging a reevaluation of aid mechanisms for future calamities.
