Priyanka Gandhi Champions Wayanad's Cause in Parliament

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress leader and Wayanad MP, raised the issue of increasing man-animal conflicts in her constituency, urging for better compensation. She also led a protest demanding a relief package for landslide-hit Wayanad, criticizing the central government for alleged discrimination in disaster aid.

In a significant parliamentary session, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra voiced her concerns over the growing man-animal conflict in Wayanad, Kerala. Addressing the Lok Sabha, she noted the profound impact such conflicts have had on local communities, with 90 reported cases in the past year.

Priyanka emphasized the necessity for enhanced compensation, particularly for farmers and common people, urging the government to address these grievances. 'Yesterday, another incident involving wild elephants took place,' she informed, underlining the urgency of the situation.

On December 14, Priyanka, alongside other Opposition MPs, staged a demonstration at the Parliament's Makar Dwar, demanding a relief package for landslide-stricken Wayanad. Accusing the central government of political bias, she asserted that there's a consistent denial of necessary support during natural disasters.
