WAYANAD: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday said she was proud of the way panchayats were functioning in Kerala and she saw first-hand how efficiently they worked after the landslides in the hill district last year.
Vadra, also the MP from Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, said that after the landslides last year, when she came here, she witnessed the “efficiency, dedication and commitment” with which the panchayat members were working “amidst the devastation, pain and suffering”.
“It did not matter which political party they belonged to. Every single person was focused on helping the disaster victims who had lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods. For me, it was the first glimpse of the courage, strength and resilience of the people of Wayanad,” she said.
