'Frequent visits are curious': BJP slams Rahul Gandhi for visiting Vietnam 'more than his constituency'

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday took a sharp dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his recent reported visit to Vietnam without public disclosure, saying that the Lok Sabha LoP is spending more time in Vietnam than his constituency.

While addressing a press conference, former union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad quipped Gandhi and said that the latter needs to explain his "extraordinary fondness" for Vietnam. The party further pointed out that such undisclosed trips are unbecoming of the LoP and raised concerns about “national security".

“One heard Rahul Gandhi was in Vietnam during Holi after being there during the New Year as well. He is spending more time in Vietnam than in his constituency. What is the reason of his so much love for Vietnam suddenly. He needs to explain his extraordinary fondness for Vietnam. The frequency of his visit to that country is very curious," he said as quoted by news agency PTI.
