Rahul Gandhi returns from Europe trip

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday returned from his trip to Europe and will hold a meeting with Congress leaders tomorrow to take stock of the developments during his absence.

Gandhi, whose foreign trips in the past have led to intense speculation, had announced his trip to Europe on Twitter on December 28. “I will be travelling to Europe for a few days. A very Happy New Year to everyone,” he had said.

Congress sources said Gandhi returned early this morning and will meet with party leaders on Monday. Gandhi had been out of the country during New Year on some occasions in the past as well. His last two trips abroad were much talked about.
