Save injured baby elephant, Rahul Gandhi writes to CM Bommai

Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS): Moved by the plight of an injured elephant calf in the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has reached out to Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.

Rahul Gandhi, currently on the Karnataka leg of his 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', is spending time with his mother and interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi over a two-day break amid the long walkathon.

In his letter addressed to Bommai on Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi said, "The Congress President and I briefly visited the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve where we happened to come across the painful sight of an injured baby elephant, with its mother. The little calf has a severely injured tail and trunk, and is fighting for its life."

While acknowledging the viewpoint that nature must be allowed to take its own course, Rahul Gandhi said that exceptions are often made in the case of endangered and iconic animals, in extremely severe cases such as the injured elephant calf.

Throughout his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka, the Congress leader has been targetting the ruling BJP in the state over 'rising corruption' and 'communalism'.

"I wanted to cross political boundaries and appeal to your sense of compassion to intervene and save the little elephant," Rahul Gandhi said.

    The mother and son duo with other herds are very protective. There is no way that Forest Department is not aware of injured calf. The problem must be to treat the calf they have to separate the mother and other herds members which is very challenging.

    This is indeed amusing! 23 Kms into Nagarahole forest on Kerala side is Raul Constituency where he's MP and he can wield any type of influence and has battery of team members and take action immediately on a war footing, but he chose to 'write' letter to CM Bommai. Well, we all recollect the cow calf murderer on Kerala road who also 'walked' with Raul in Yatra a few days ago

    Citizens are not allowed to approach wild animals ANYWHERE it is upto forest department officials of govt. Let nature take it's course is an outdated way of thought since we have almost destroyed nature and should now make desperate attempts to help save it like with cheetahs. Good job Rahul hope bomma does something useful for a change instead of petty politics.

    I fondly recollect Chicha Nehru 'writing' letters to Sarojini Naidu and MK Ghandhi and to his daughter Indira and Son in law Feroze.

    The pest is you and your counterparts who keep getting into their territories, occupying their homes and corridors,have some shame Atleast before your talk such nonsense. We have less than 27,000 elephants in India. You and your counterparts who keep cutting down forests and make them into farms are responsible,stop blaming every other animal around for the mess that our horrible species has created. shame..!!

    These are the prefabricated gimmick by all politicians.Rahul also have to do all this for votes.He could have told DKShee about the baby elephant caring who good with state leaders of BJPee alongside Sheedu.When once i met Rahul saw every one, everything been checked by SPG and whoever want to go near to him being monitored and cellphones to be switched off. But for the gimmick he or Modi or any VVIp politicians will create photo off scenes to fool the voters'.
