Wayanad: Opposition leader in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi cancelled their plan to visit landslide-hit areas on Wednesday morning due to incessant rains and adverse weather conditions.

“Priyanka and I were scheduled to visit Wayanad tomorrow to meet with families affected by the landslide and take stock of the situation,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a message on X.

“However, due to incessant rains and adverse weather conditions, we have been informed by authorities that we will not be able to land.”

“I want to assure the people of Wayanad that we will visit as soon as possible. In the meantime, we will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide all necessary assistance.”

“Our thoughts are with the people of Wayanad at this difficult time,” he added.

Priyanka Gandhi said, “My brothers and sisters in Wayanad, even though we cannot come to Wayanad tomorrow, our hearts are with you at this tragic hour, and we are praying for all of you.”
