Rahul Gandhi & Priyanka Gandhi Vadra - Wayanad

Saraswati weaves baskets for a living, a skill she learned from her mother. She runs Vanadurga Bamboo Products, in Noolpuzha with her sweet mother in law. It was wonderful to meet them, learn some basket weaving and also have a video chat with Saraswati’s daughter who has a BA degree in Economics. Three generations of accomplished women! Women across Wayanad work tirelessly to earn. They are skilled, proud and strong women who nurture and provide for their families. Supporting them and ensuring better opportunities for women is imperative for us to build a better future.

My visit to the Sree Kunnath Mahavishnu Temple, Manassery, Mukkam was deeply touching. Its serenity and spirituality is apparent. Many lovely ladies waited their turn to pay their respects. Meeting them was very special too…. not to mention being weighed in bananas (one too many, maybe!). The beautifully painted temple walls, and the fascinating hand carved chariot (carved by two brothers I met at the temple) were a joy to behold. There is so much tradition and talent in Wayanad, it is truly a place for all to visit.

Visited the proposed Padinjarathara–Poozhithodu road site at Kottiyamvayal, along with the District Collector, District Forest Officer and PWD Executive Engineers. This new road would make a big difference by providing an alternate route for the Thamarassery ghat road, which would improve the connectivity of the Wayanad district. 📍 Wayanad, Kerala

Met Shri. @JPNadda to request him to expedite some health projects in Wayanad and to apprise him of the severe difficulties being faced by the local population in the absence of the Medical College in Mananthavadi which is yet far from functional. We also discussed the need for better healthcare for Wayanad’s tribal population, their specific health issues, pending NHM funds and the need for a specialised trauma center catering to cases of animal attacks in the area. Along with this all of us also renewed the long standing request for an AIIMS for Kerala. He was kind enough to hear out all our demands and hold a frank discussion with us. I sincerely hope that these pressing issues will be given due consideration.

Today marks a painful anniversary — the Chooralmala-Mundakkai landslide, a tragedy that still echoes in our hearts. Though I may be away on parliamentary duty, my heart is right there with you. As we remember those we lost, may their memories bring peace, and may your faith guide you forward. I stand with you, not just today, but always.

Six years ago, I had written to the Chief Minister of Kerala urging a comprehensive infrastructure audit of schools, after the heartbreaking death of a young girl due to a snakebite inside her classroom. It pains me deeply that another precious life - 13 year-old Mithun Manu - has been lost to electrocution from a sagging power line within a school compound in Kollam. I urge the Kerala Government to immediately undertake a time-bound, public audit and upgradation of all school infrastructure in the state and fix responsibility for this tragedy. No parent should have to endure such unimaginable loss. Every child has the right to a safe learning environment.

We worked as a team, each one with commitment and single pointed focus, that is the most important lesson of this success. Heartiest congratulations to Aryadan Shoukath whose dedication and service has shone through and to all the leaders and workers of the UDF whose efforts made this victory possible. Most of all a big thank you to my sisters and brothers of Nilambur for your support. Your trust and belief in the values of our constitution, and in the UDF’s vision for progress will be the guiding light for our way forward.

Hearing about the loss of two young brothers, Nidhin and Aivin, in Kodenchery, Kozhikode was heartbreaking. I pray that God gives their family the strength to bear this terrible tragedy. I urge all of you in Kerala to remain vigilant, follow directives given by the authorities and be mindful of the periodic safety alerts in vulnerable areas. All our colleagues in the UDF are there to provide proactive assistance and care. I am confident that they will make themselves available at all hours and be of help. Let us work together to ensure everyone's safety.
