Rahul Gandhi assures setting up of a medical college in Wayanad | Kerala News

Kerala News

The need for a state-of-the-art medical college has been a pressing issue in the mountainous region, highlighted by all three political fronts in the by-poll: the Congress-led UDF, the CPI(M)-led LDF, and the BJP. However, none of the state government’s were able to implement the promise of constructing a medical college in Wayanad.

Wayanad: Bringing cheers and hopes to the people of Wayanad who had been demanding a government-run medical college for many years, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi promised setting up of a medical college in Wayanad during a public meeting at Areekode, as part of the election campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha by-poll in the hill constituency.

The need for a state-of-the-art medical college has been a pressing issue in the mountainous region, highlighted by all three political fronts in the by-poll: the Congress-led UDF, the CPI(M)-led LDF, and the BJP. However, none of the state government’s were able to implement the promise of constructing a medical college in Wayanad.

“Some commitments that I have made to you. Commitment of starting a medical college, commitment of night traffic. I guarantee you, that your new MP is going to be committed to doing these things. And also, your old MP is also going to be committed”, said Rahul Gandhi at Areekode.

“We will ensure that the best medical college in the country will be built in Wayanad”, he said.

Rahul Gandhi also took potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging a lack of support for the landslide-hit region. “You saw that the Prime Minister of India came to Wayanad. But he did not really support Wayanad financially,” he said.

“It’s not easy for me to leave Wayanad because I got tremendous love and affection from all the people here. When I was being attacked relentlessly and campaigns were launched against me, the people of Wayanad stood by me”, said the former MP while he was trying to establish his deep connections with the constituency.

Wayanad has been lacking a super specialty hospital and thereby a demand for a hospital that can treat people

The Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency comprises seven Assembly segments: Mananthavady (ST), Sulthan Bathery (ST), and Kalpetta in Wayanad district, as well as Thiruvambadi in Kozhikode district and Eranad, Nilambur, and Wandoor in Malappuram district.

The by-election for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat was necessitated after Rahul Gandhi, who won the seat in the last Lok Sabha elections as well as in Rae Bareli, decided to vacate Wayanad. Voting will take place on 13 November.
