One can predict a solar and lunar eclipse but not when Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will return to active politics, BJP leader Prakash Javedekar said on Tuesday.
Speaking on the sidelines of an event of his information and broadcasting ministry, Javedekar told IANS: "One can predict a solar or lunar eclipse. But one can't predict when Rahul Gandhi is coming back."
He was commenting on Congress vice president's long leave from politics since the budget session of parliament began on February 23.
The BJP leader, however, quickly added that this was an "internal issue" of the Congress.
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has said that Rahul Gandhi was likely to attend the party's farmers' rally here on April 19. The rally is expected to be addressed by party president Sonia Gandhi.
