Addressing a joint public meeting with his lawmaker sister at Mukkam in Kozhikode district, the leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha urged the Congress and the United Democratic Front (UDF) to pressure the LDF-led Kerala government to help the Wayanad landslides victims.

"Unfortunately, we are not in government and therefore, we cannot do what a government can do. So, I told my sister and (AICC general secretary) KC Venugopal that every member of the Congress and the UDF should put pressure on the government of Kerala to help the victims of the landslides," Gandhi said, after paying tribute to the victims of the landslides.

Wayanad faced devastating landslides on July 30 this year, which claimed at least 231 lives.
