Priyanka Gandhi may contest from Wayanad in the near future. She was in Wayanad today in a raincoat and gumboots along with brother Rahul Gandhi. With great difficulty they could reach the devastated areas and talk to the people.
Nearly 300 people died in the floods and hundreds of bodies are yet to be recovered. Rahul and Priyanka could meet people here with the assistance of the central forces.
They will visit three relief camps operating at Govt Higher Secondary School, St Joseph UP School, and Dr Moopen’s Medical College in Wayanad’s Meppadi. Notably, Rahul and Priyanka were scheduled to visit Wayanad on Wednesday but their schedule was put off because of adverse weather situations and incessant rains.
“Priyanka and I were scheduled to visit Wayanad to meet with families affected by the landslide and take stock of the situation. However, due to incessant rains and adverse weather conditions, we have been informed by authorities that we will not be able to land,” Rahul wrote on X earlier.
Notably, Rahul Gandhi has been an MP from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he got elected from both Rae Bareli and Wayanad constituencies but he chose the former over the latter.
