On 23 February, the day the budget session of Parliament began, Gandhi had set tongues wagging about his future plans as he went on a sabbatical “for a few weeks” following the party’s whitewash in Delhi Assembly elections on top of a string of electoral losses. Later party spokesman Randip Surjewala had said that the leave is for “two weeks”. The two week period will end by Sunday. However, there is no official word on where Rahul is and when he is likely to get back to work. A party General Secretary remarked on Saturday that the appointment five PCC chiefs made last week including that of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Telangana was done after the green signal from the party vice president.
