Kerala's Wayanad district, which has become a national battleground after Congress chief Rahul Gandhi announced his intention to contest polls from here, is host to Kerala's largest tribal population. Despite the colonies being located barely 15 kilometres away from the district's administrative centre, they remain neglected and relegated to a corner. A significant chunk of the tribal population, for whom malnutrition is a pressing issue, has no information of the heavyweights who are contesting from here.
