Indian Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi returns after two-month break from politics

Xinhua, April 16, 2015 Adjust font size:

Rahul Gandhi, second-in-command of the Indian National Congress party on Thursday returned to Delhi after a two-month absence from politics, said local media.

The Congress vice-president arrived here on a Thai Airways plane from Bangkok, where he apparently spent a long holiday, said Press Trust of India.

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi reached his residence to receive him, said the report.

Gandhi, 44, left New Delhi in February on what was initially described as a six-week leave of absence but was extended three times, triggering speculation about the whereabouts of the Congress heir apparent. Endi
