Priyanka slams Centre over 'inadequate relief' to Wayanad

New Delhi, Oct 4 (UNI) Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today slammed the Central government over what she described as a grossly inadequate response to the landslide tragedy in Wayanad, Kerala.
In a post on X, the Wayanad MP condemned the alleged disparity between the state’s urgent request for relief and the Centre’s actual allocation.
"The people of Wayanad faced a devastating tragedy that demanded compassion, fairness, and urgent relief. Kerala requested Rs 2,221 crore to rebuild lives after the landslide, but the Central government sanctioned only Rs 260 crore, a fraction of what was needed," the Congress general secretary said.
