"Their visit yesterday was cancelled because of the advice given by the District Administration": K Suresh on Rahul Gandhi's visit to Wayanad
New Delhi: Congress MP K Suresh on Thursday hit out at BJP MP Tejasvi Surya who had questioned Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi ahead of their visit to Wayanad on Thursday.
Speaking to ANI, Suresh said that the death toll has been increasing every day in Wayanad. He added that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi did not go to Wayanad on Wednesday because of the weather conditions.
"The death toll in Wayanad has been increasing every day. We cannot comment on the final figure right now. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were not able to go to Wayanad yesterday because of the weather conditions. George Kurian is a minister and he travelled by road. The security of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi is important, and their visit yesterday was cancelled due to the advice given by the District Adminstration of Wayanad," K Suresh said.
Further, Suresh also said that Rahul Gandhi had raised the issue of the Wayanad constituency, ecological issues and the landslide issue several times in the Lok Sabha, but the BJP only wants to politicise them.
"Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi left for Wayanad today. Yesterday, Gandhi raised the issues of the Wayanad constituency, ecological issues and the landslide issue several times in the Lok Sabha, but the BJP only wants to politicise them. The BJP just makes false allegations about Congress. The people of Wayanad are fully aware of the reasons why they have selected Rahul Gandhi with a majority for the second time," he said.
Earlier on Wednesday, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya had raised questions on Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi's visit to Wayanad and said that Union Minister George Kurian has been on the ground for the past two to three days. He added that while Kurian's plane was able to land, the planes carrying Rahul and Priyanka are unable to do so.
