Posters describing Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi as “missing” surfaced in several parts of Delhi on Sunday (June 28), adding a fresh twist to the BJP’s ongoing attack over his reported foreign visit. The posters, carrying Gandhi’s photograph alongside the word “missing”, were seen at prominent locations, including Firozshah Road. It was not immediately known who had put them up.
The timing is significant. They appeared days after the BJP accused Gandhi of disappearing whenever Parliament, elections or his own party needed him, alleging that he was on “yet another foreign visit”.
Stepping up the attack, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said LoP did not stand for Leader of the Opposition in Gandhi’s case. “It stands for Leader of Paryatan and Partying,” he said in a video statement, according to PTI.

“On the one hand, Prime Minister Modi has become the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of the country. For over 9,000 days, as chief minister and as prime minister, as head of government, he has not taken a single day off. This is called work mode, seva mode,” he said. There was no immediate response from Congress or Rahul Gandhi to either the posters or the BJP’s latest allegations.
