Earlier, BJP had refuted Congress's version of the story that Rahul Gandhi has gone their to attend conference.

While talking to reporters party spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao said, "For the last three days, the Congress is misleading the country over Gandhi's whereabouts. The Congress has claimed that he is travelling to Aspen in the US to attend a conference known as 'Weekend with Charlie Rose'. But we have got to know that the said conference was over in July".
