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.
