The leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that it was a good decision by 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 is scheduled to visit Kerala’s Wayanad district on Saturday to review the relief-and-rehabilitation efforts and interact with survivors.
According to officials, Modi would reach Kannur about 11 am tomorrow and undertake an aerial survey of the landslide affected areas in Wayanad.
“Thank you, Modi ji for visiting Wayanad to personally take stock of this terrible tragedy. This is a good decision,” Gandhi posted X.
“I am confident that once the Prime Minister sees firsthand how extensive things are here with regard to suffering from this calamity, he shall call it ‘a national disaster’”, said ex-Congress President.
