Wayanad (Kerala) [India], March 28 (ANI): Congress Lok Sabha MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra inaugurated the 50-acre Kattunayikka Unnathi Cultural Centre in Vadakkanad, a small village located in Wayanad, situated between Sultan Bathery and Mananthavady.
Addressing the gathering, she highlighted several local issues, including the lack of drinking water and the delay in completing a 12.5 km road project.
“There are many difficulties here, like drinking water or the 12.5 km road project, which urgently needs to be completed. It is already included in the central government’s list of roads, but I will be happy to meet the concerned Minister to expedite the project,” Priyanka Gandhi said.
She also expressed concern over the non-implementation of a crash guard iron rope fencing project despite funds being sanctioned. “It is sad that the crash guard iron rope fencing you have asked for has not been built despite money being sanctioned for it already,” she remarked.
Congress Lok Sabha MP emphasized the need for a permanent structure for the community, acknowledging the high costs involved.
“It is important for you to have a permanent structure, which, of course, costs a lot of money, which is why the government is reluctant to sanction money for them,” she noted.
She further assured that she would write to the state government to press for the fulfillment of the community’s original demand for the crash-guard fence.
Earlier today, Lok Sabha MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also laid the foundation stone for several women-led developmental projects in the Thavinhal Gram Panchayat in the Wayanad district in Kerala, highlighting the importance of women’s involvement in such projects and the district’s “huge tourism potential.”
“Today, the foundation stone that I am laying is for the model Anganwadi ‘take a break center,’ which is the rest and recreation center mainly for tourists, but it will be operated by the Kutumbachi ladies, and the women’s run cafeteria and park as well. I understand that since women are going to be running it, it is going to be very beautiful,” Priyanka Gandhi said while addressing the people in the area.
“Because we are very good at running things. Very often, men also underestimate what women can do. We are very good at running things, running the home and family, and whatever work we do, wherever we go, whether it is a business or in office we try out best to do it efficiently and with great commitment and dedication, and most importantly we do things with kindness and caring, which goes a long way,” she added.
