Gandhis in Wayanad as Congress Moves to Contain Local Party Crisis

High-command talks target debt relief, with leadership churn under study before local and Assembly polls.

Overview

  • Rahul Gandhi held informal talks in Wayanad with AICC’s K. C. Venugopal and KPCC president Sunny Joseph on organisational repairs and poll readiness.
  • A KPCC–DCC meeting decided to settle a portion of late leader N. M. Vijayan’s debts, and a change in the Wayanad DCC leadership was mooted to restore stability.
  • Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s extended constituency tour continued with low-profile engagements, drawing complaints from local Congress functionaries who said they were not informed of her schedule.
  • Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka met coffee growers at the Regional Coffee Research Station in Chundale, toured facilities, and later visited the M S Swaminathan Research Foundation where they planted saplings.
  • On Sunday, the Gandhi family joined the Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi program in Kalpetta, where Priyanka said the Guru’s message of equality and compassion is urgently needed in public life.
