Amit Shah asks 'directionless' Congress to search for Rahul Gandhi

Sonia Gandhi said on Thursday that Rahul Gandhi would be back soon

Taking a dig at the Congress Party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Friday said that a depressed and directionless opposition should search for its missing leaders rather than blaming the ruling dispensation at the Centre.

"The opposition is depressed and directionless today. They are looking for errors which don't even exist. They talk about a blame that doesn't exist. The president said don't search for errors and blames that don't exist, if you want search, search for your leader," said Minister of State for Environment and Forests, Prakash Javadekar, while briefing the media about the discussions which took place in the BJP's national executive.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi had earlier on Thursday said that her son and party vice-president Rahul Gandhi would be back soon from his sabbatical.

Last month, Rahul Gandhi sought leave from the Parliament to introspect on his party's declining fortunes, setting off speculation of a long-awaited change in the party.
