Priyanka said – We have informed the Home Minister about the situation in Wayanad. The people there are devastated. He has no support system.
People's homes, businesses, schools have all been destroyed. The people there should be helped as much as possible. All is ruined for the affected people in Wayanad. In such a situation, if the central government does nothing, what can we do?

- I have told Shah that we should put politics aside and recognize the pain of these people, because their pain is immense. This matter needs to be considered very seriously.
- Prime Minister Modi also went to Wayanad and met the victims, but when I met the victims, there was hope in them that the Prime Minister would do something. However PM has not helped yet.
- We want the central government to come forward to provide relief to the affected people, so that these people can resume their lives.
- The affected people of Wayanad are looking towards the central government with great hope. They want their shattered lives to get back on track.
