A piece of equipment, including ICU facilities, was bought with the MP's local area development fund for around Rs 35 lakhs and donated to Wandoor Taluk Hospital in Malappuram district, part of the Wayanad constituency.
However, due to a lack of space for installation, the hospital returned the equipment, causing controversy.

The Wandoor panchayat is now investigating the situation and plans to install the equipment to support the many patients who rely on the hospital for dialysis.
According to sources within the local Congress party, Wayanad district has a significant population of dialysis patients, and the MP had previously provided dialysis kits to many of them.
