In a release here, Narayanasamy said Gandhi had walked through slushy fields and listened to grievances of farmers and villagers unlike Prime Minister Narendra Modi who only did an "aerial survey of the rain havoc and Chief Minister N Rangasamy who sat in his car."
He alleged that police failed to provide adequate security to the AICC vice president, who had come under Z category of security, in Shanmuga Nagar Vambapet village.
