BJP files 'missing person' complaint against Priyanka Gandhi after similar case against Suresh Gopi

A BJP leader on Monday filed a "missing person" complaint against Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi, a day after a Congress student leader lodged a similar complaint against party MP and Union Minister Suresh Gopi.

Palliyara Mukundan, president of the BJP's Scheduled Tribe Morcha, submitted the complaint to the district police chief, alleging that the Congress MP has been "missing" from the high-range constituency for the past three months.

Mukundan further claimed that Priyanka Gandhi was absent from the landslide-affected Chooralmala-Mundakai areas and accused her of not engaging with the tribal community's issues in the constituency, which is predominantly inhabited by marginalised groups.


On Sunday, Kerala Students' Union (KSU) district president Gokul Guruvayoor filed a "missing" complaint with the police, alleging that Gopi had been "inaccessible" to the people of his constituency and district for some time.

The KSU leader claimed that the Thrissur Lok Sabha MP had not visited the constituency in the last three months and had remained silent on the recent arrest of two Catholic nuns from the state in Chhattisgarh.
