Rahul is on few days' leave: Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi, Feb 23 (IBNS) Rahul is on a few days' leave, Congress President Sonia told news channels when asked about Rahul Gandhi's absence from party affairs.

"Rahul is on a few days' leave... He has already left on leave. Give him a few weeks," Sonia told Headlines Today.

She refused to elaborate more on the matter.

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, whose party faced poll debacles on after another, is reportedly  on leave to reflect on recent events, said media reports.

According to an NDTV report, Rahul Gandhi has "requested Congress President Sonia Gandhi for some time to reflect on recent events and future course of the party".

The report said with the All India Congress Committee (AICC) session scheduled in April, he has sought time to think on what direction the party will take.

The channel quoting sources reported that Rahul Gandhi has been "granted a leave of absence for a few weeks after which he will return and resume his active participation in the affairs of the Congress party."

Rahul Gandhi has always been seen as a reluctant Prince of the Congress party. He has so far failed to woo voters with the Congress in the recently held Delhi polls scoring a zilch.
