Wed Oct 23 11:57:07 UTC 2024: On October 23, 2024, UDF candidate Priyanka Gandhi and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi visited the public crematorium in Puthumala, Wayanad, to pay their respects to victims of the recent landslide disaster. Their visit followed the submission of nomination papers at the collectorate in Kalpetta. The crematorium contains unidentified bodies from the disaster area. After offering flowers and prayers, they received updates about the fatalities from MLA T. Siddique. This marks Priyanka’s first visit to Wayanad since the announcement of upcoming elections, as she previously visited during earlier landslide events. The visit is viewed as a significant political message, highlighting the lack of action from both central and state governments in providing aid to disaster-affected individuals. Observers note that Priyanka’s visit aims to bring national attention to the Chalakudy landslide, one of the country’s major disasters.
