Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized the Centre for offering a ₹520 crore loan instead of direct financial aid to Kerala for Wayanad landslide relief. She accused the government of neglecting the state’s crisis and imposing conditional assistance despite the devastating impact on livelihoods and infrastructure. Gandhi emphasized the need for unconditional support to help affected families rebuild. The Congress has urged the BJP-led government to provide immediate grants rather than loans. The controversy adds to ongoing political tensions, with opposition parties accusing the Centre of discriminatory disaster relief policies.
