Rahul Gandhi's Europe tour sparks controversy amid national mourning and growing challenges within Congress party.

Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has left for a Europe tour to celebrate holidays. Rahul's tour comes at a time when the country is mourning the horrific plane crash in Ahmedabad. This trip is sure to affect the Congress's ongoing programmes, with the first impact expected on the campaign aimed at strengthening the organisation in various states.

While no one in the party is speaking openly, there is definite surprise. Some leaders are whispering that Rahul should have avoided the tour at such a sensitive time, especially since the organisation's condition in the states is already disappointing due to continuous defeats. With elections in Bihar and other states approaching, strategy planning is crucial. Meanwhile, the party does not seem concerned about the by-elections currently underway in some states.
