A group of CPI(M) activists waved black flags at Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday at Kaniyaram near Mananthavady when she visited the family of a woman killed by a tiger last week.
As Priyanka’s motorcade made its way through Kaniyaram near Mananthavady , the CPI-M workers waved black flags and shouted “Go back,” alleging that the Wayanad MP comes to visit Wayanad only when there are serious incidents there.
