Actor Mammootty visited the Wayanad township built by the Left Democratic Front government for landslide-affected families, sparking political controversy after he was recorded asking CPI(M) district secretary K. Rafeeq not to follow him closely. The video led to online disputes between CPI(M) and Congress supporters. CPI(M) leaders emphasized Rafeeq's role in relief efforts and downplayed the incident, while Congress condemned the cyberbullying against Mammootty. Both parties highlighted the actor's visit amid election-related tensions.
