Sabbatical row: Now, posters announce huge reward for info on Rahul's whereabouts

Lucknow, Feb 26: Two days after the Congress granted leave to its vice-president Rahul Gandhi for few weeks, the speculation continues over his whereabouts.

Amid all this, posters have come up in Allahabad declaring a big reward for giving information about whereabouts of Gandhi scion.

"Congress ke senapati laa-pata," reads the legend on these posters, says report in DNA.

The report said these posters, issued by some local BJP leaders, carries a big photo of Rahul Gandhi and that of a BJP leader.

The posters also announce rewards for anyone who can give information regarding whereabouts of Rahul. "Suchna dene waale ko maala maal kiya jaayega," read the posters.

The report said these posters have also been put up outside Anand Bhavan, the ancestral house of the Nehru-Gandhi family, as also near the district Congress office.

Earlier on Wednesday, some posters came up in Allahabad demanding Rahul's sister Priyanka be given big responsibility in the party.

This has come a day after a self-proclaimed loyalist of the Nehru-Gandhi family, Jagdish Sharma, claimed that Rahul was holidaying in Uttarakhand. Sharma posted photographs of Rahul with some hills in the background on his Twitter page, which created outrage. But, Congress refuted his claims.

It seems, Congress will have a really tough time after Rahul Gandhi sabbatical issue. Congress vice-president has once again unleashed harm to his party, albeit it is not a new phenomena for the grand old party. It is being said that Rahul Gandhi's surprise sabbatical has exposed fault lines in the electorally-battered Congress, which is bracing for a generational change.
