Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is currently abroad. It is learned that he has gone to Vietnam for holidays. Even Congress leaders are not aware of this, but I have received information that Rahul Gandhi left for Vietnam at 1 am on Sunday night by Viet Jet Air flight number VJ 896. However, it has not been confirmed yet whether Rahul will stay in Vietnam till January 1 or go somewhere else from there. But it is certain that Rahul is not in the country right now.
BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya posted on Earlier too, Congress had insulted former Prime Ministers PV Narasimha Rao and Pranab Mukherjee in the same manner.
Since the last rites of Dr. Manmohan Singh took place two days ago, the government declared national mourning till January 1 and meanwhile Rahul went abroad to celebrate the New Year, hence BJP leaders attacked Rahul Gandhi. In response, Congress MP Manickam Tagore wrote on X, “If Rahul Gandhi goes somewhere on a personal visit, what problem do you have with it? At least improve in the new year.”
It is no secret that Rahul Gandhi disappears from time to time. He definitely goes to some other country to celebrate New Year. No one should have any objection to this. This is their right. He can go on holiday anytime, anywhere but his personal trip becomes a political issue.
There are two reasons for this. Firstly, Rahul keeps his foreign trips and destination secret and does not tell anyone. This may be fine for film stars, but if a political leader does this, the opponents get a chance to raise questions.
Secondly, Rahul does not care about what is going on in the country when he is going out. For example, if Dr. Manmohan Singh had not passed away, Rahul’s annual celebration would not have become such a big issue. In this context, his Bharat Jodo Yatra was given a break because Rahul had to go somewhere. Once or twice he left the assembly election campaign midway and went abroad.
The biggest thing is that if any big leader of BJP disappears like this, goes on a secret trip, then Rahul Gandhi will be in shock. He will call it an insult to the Constitution, but now he himself is holding a statutory post. It would have been better if he had told the opposition leader in the Lok Sabha where he was going.
