I.N.D.I.A bloc CPI (Marxist) MP, John Brittas, questioned the timing of Rahul Gandhi's visit to Germany during the Winter Session of Parliament. "We...wished that the Leader of Opposition (LoP) was there, at least during the VB-G RAM G debate, but the Congress party said the visit was pre-decided," he said. "We expected him to lead the Opposition's agitation," Brittas added.
