Rahul Gandhi's Facebook post:

During our visit to the Meppadi camp, where Wayanad's landslide victims were being sheltered, Priyanka and I learnt about Sruthi and her enduring strength. Despite having suffered the devastating loss of several family members, she remained resilient and brave we were told.

Today, I am deeply saddened to learn that she has faced yet another heartbreaking tragedy—the loss of her fiancé, Jenson.

Sruthi, my heartfelt condolences are with you during this incredibly difficult time. Please know that you are not alone in your grief. My wishes are also with you for a speedy recovery.

May you find the strength and courage to carry on with the same unwavering spirit.
