“Cow Slaughter Caused Wayanad Landslides”, Says BJP Leader of Rajasthan  

New Delhi: Rajasthan’s senior BJP leader Gyandev Ahuja on Saturday linked the Wayanad landslides to cow slaughter practices in Kerala.

Ahuja, who is a former Rajasthan MLA added that such incidents will continue to occur wherever cow slaughter happens.

His statement came at a time when the death toll in Kerala’s Wayanad landslides reached 358.

Speaking with the media, Ahuja asserted that the landslides in Wayanad are a direct consequence of cow slaughter, reported India Today.

The BJP leader claimed that while natural calamities like cloudbursts and landslides occur frequently in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, they do not result in disasters of this magnitude.

“Since 2018, we have observed a pattern where areas involved in cow slaughter face such tragic incidents,” Ahuja said. “If cow slaughter does not stop, similar tragedies will continue to occur in Kerala”, he added.
