Gandhi also reminded people, as the Congress party is not in power both in Delhi and Kerala, they can't do 'big things'.
Congress
leaders are going to pressurise the Government so that Kerala people
get their compensation as soon as possible and citizens face minimum
discomfort, said party president Rahul
Gandhi on Tuesday evening while addressing people at a relief
camp in North Paravur.
"The
Government owes you compensation and Government has to help you build
your houses. We are in opposition and it is our job to make them do
their duties. Every single Congress leader is going to pressurize the
Government so that your compensation is paid as soon as possible and
you face minimum discomfort," he said.
Gandhi
also reminded people, as the Congress
party is not in power both in Delhi and Kerala, they can't do 'big
things'. However, he added that the Congress party is raising money
to help people rebuild their houses.
Talking
of problem being faced by people in camps, the Congress president
said, "The immediate problem in all the camps is that people are
saying their houses are damaged, there is a lot of mud and dirt in
their houses and people have lost their papers.
So
I have told all the Congress workers and leaders to help them build
their houses, to assist them to clean it and to help with all the
papers that have been lost so that people can get the paperwork
done."
The
Gandhi scion also applauded people for facing this tragedy with unity
and strength.
"Every
single Keralite should be proud that how the state has reacted to
this tragedy. Everyone stood together as one. All religion, all
communities, all cast stood together and faced this tragedy. And you
are a huge example to the whole country", he said.
Congress
president Rahul Gandhi is on a two-day visit of flood-hit Kerala. He
reached the flood-ravaged state on Tuesday morning and will take
stock of the situation in the Wayanad district on Wednesday.
