Confident PM will declare Wayanad landslides national disaster once he sees devastation: Rahul
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday said it was a good decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit landslides-hit Wayanad and expressed confidence that once he sees the extent of the devastation firsthand, the prime minister will declare it a national disaster.
Modi will visit Kerala’s Wayanad district on Saturday to review the relief-and-rehabilitation efforts and interact with survivors.
Officials said Modi will reach Kannur around 11 am and then undertake an aerial survey of the landslides-affected areas in Wayanad.
“Thank you, Modi ji, for visiting Wayanad to personally take stock of the terrible tragedy. This is a good decision,” Gandhi said in a post on X.
“I am confident that once the Prime Minister sees the extent of the devastation firsthand, he will declare it a national disaster,” the former Congress chief said.
