Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi who was supposed to be back from his month-long 'introspective' sabbatical is delaying his arrival in Delhi by a fortnight. This means Rahul will be MIA for a month-and-a-half.

Sources tell Rediff.com that Rahul's decision to delay his return to the capital comes after the CAG report, tabled in the Haryana state assembly yesterday, concluded that the previous Congress regime in Haryana showed undue favours to party president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra in a land deal with reality giant DLF.

An informed source tell us that Rahul has now activated his BlackBerry phone (President Barack Obama's choice as well) with a Delhi number and is in touch with top leaders of the Congress through BBM. He is also in touch via Whatsapp (possibly through another number).

Congress leaders who spoke to Rahul say he is disappointed and disgruntled. With what and why, is up for discussion. Watch this space.

Just yesterday, the face of the 'missing' MP was slapped onto several posters that have cropped up in his own constituency of Amethi declaring a reward for any information regarding Rahul's whereabouts.

According to reports, these posters allege that the Congress vice president lacks courage since he decided to go on leave during the crucial Budget Session.
