Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of failing to provide sufficient help to the victims of the recent landslides in Wayanad, Kerala. The catastrophic landslides, triggered by heavy rains, resulted in significant loss of life and widespread destruction, urging calls for immediate government action.
In a statement, Rahul Gandhi, who represents Wayanad in the Lok Sabha, expressed disappointment over the Prime Minister’s lack of response to the crisis. He criticized Modi for not visiting the affected areas or offering adequate assistance. Despite the urgent need for intervention, Rahul said the central government had been slow to act, leaving local authorities and communities to manage the situation on their own. “The people of Wayanad are facing unimaginable suffering, and yet the Prime Minister has shown no interest in helping them during this time of crisis,” he said.
The landslides, which struck several parts of Wayanad district, have disrupted normal life, destroyed homes, and displaced numerous families. While relief operations are ongoing, local leaders are calling for additional support from the central government to aid the rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
Rahul Gandhi also took to social media to raise awareness, sharing photos and updates from the affected areas. He emphasized the need for a collaborative effort between the state and central governments to deliver relief to those in need. "The people of Wayanad need urgent help, and it is our duty to ensure they get the support they deserve," he said.
Rahul's comments have sparked political debate, with some critics accusing him of exploiting the tragedy for political purposes. On the other hand, his supporters argue that his calls for the Prime Minister to act are focused on the welfare of those suffering in the region. The state government has already mobilized emergency services, and reconstruction efforts are underway, but many are hopeful for further assistance from the central government in these trying times.
