Rahul Gandhi wants to take a break. From what, asks Twitter

Why is Rahul Gandhi's 'leave of absence' timed for the start of the budget session? You don't take leave when school starts surely.

Congress. A party where the party boss goes abroad during a crisis, as far away as possible from the party to reflect on the party's future.

Rahul G. was effectively absent from parliament. Yet when party on choppiest waters, wannabe captain jumps off with an I'll be back? Bizarre

The Congress party needs leave of absence from Rahul Gandhi more than the other way round.

So what were all the breaks Rahul Gandhi took before this? Unofficial leave of absence? Hope he finds his Banyan tree of enlightenment.

Rahul Gandhi is taking leave from Congress party. This is not what we want to do during annual appraisal time.

Couldn't Rahul Gandhi have gone on 'sabbatical' at end of last session? Pushing off now shows his irrelevance to Indian politics.

Does anyone know where Rahul Gandhi is going on holid…I mean "leave of absence" to deeply contemplate the future of Congress?
