Earlier, Congress chief spokesperson, Randeep Singh Surjewala, had confirmed that Rahul Gandhi will be away for a couple of days. However, he did not disclose Gandhi’s location. “Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has left for abroad for a short personal visit and will be away for a few days,” he told PTI.
Rahul Gandhi’s trip came a day ahead of the Congress’s 136th Foundation Day celebrations.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) questioned the timing of Gandhi’s go to. “So much of noise was made for farmers protest by the opp, where is #RG now? Short holiday? Seriously? If you are so concerned about the farmers, you should have been out there on the streets with them n not holidaying,” tweeted BJP leader Khushbu Sundar.
