We expected him to lead: I.N.D.I. Alliance MP on Rahul's absence from Parliament

CPI(M) MP John Brittas criticised his I.N.D.I. Alliance ally, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, for being absent from the Parliament for the last five days of Parliament's winter session. "We expected the Leader of the Opposition to lead," said Brittas, adding that Rahul's presence "would have made all the difference". Rahul is currently in Germany for an Indian Overseas Congress event.
