FollowThe Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has stepped forward to offer financial support to the family of Ajeesh, who tragically lost his life in a wild elephant attack in Wayanad. The announcement comes after a tumultuous turn of events surrounding the relief funds initially promised by the Karnataka government.
Ajeesh's untimely demise occurred when he was fatally trampled by a rogue wild tusker named Belur Makhana, near the Kerala-Karnataka border. The incident sparked a wave of empathy, prompting Rahul Gandhi, a prominent leader, to extend assistance to Ajeesh's grieving family.

However, amidst political wrangling, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in opposition in Karnataka, raised objections to the aid proposed by Gandhi. Their opposition triggered a contentious debate, leaving Ajeesh's family caught in the middle of a political crossfire.
Undeterred by the controversy, KPCC President K Sudhakaran took a decisive step, announcing a generous ex-gratia payment of Rs 15 lakhs for Ajeesh's family. This gesture of solidarity aims to alleviate the financial burden on the bereaved family and provide them with much-needed support during their time of mourning.
