Wayanad: Wayanad MP and senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi visited the house of Radha, who tragically lost her life in a tiger attack last week.

She was accompanied by KPCC President K Sudhakaran, AICC general secretary KC Venugopal and other leaders. 

Priyanka arrived at Kannur airport at 11:30 a.m. and travelled to Wayanad by road. She is also scheduled to visit the family of N.M. Vijayan, the former treasurer of the DCC, who committed suicide. 

Leader of Opposition in the state assembly V D Satheesan said that the state government has left the people of the hilly regions to their fate.

He made the accusations after visiting the family of Radha who was mauled to death by a tiger when she was out collecting coffee beans at the Priyadarshini Estate in Mananthavady village here last week.

Satheesan said that the state government was not implementing the older or newer methods of deterring wild animals from entering inhabited areas.

"Other states facing such issues have implemented newer methods of keeping away wild animals from populated areas. But, this government is not doing anything. It has left the people of the state to their fate. They (government) are indifferent," he said while speaking to reporters here.
