After media reports emerged that Rahul Gandhi had left for Milan, Italy, on an impromptu surprise vacation in middle of Punjab farmers vs Govt of India farm laws tussle, Congress trolls kept themselves busy trying to refute these as ‘fake news’. Rahul Gandhi loyalist Saket Gokhale cried himself hoarse claiming that Rahul Gandhi has not gone for vacation.
He tried hard.Yep – that you need to Google shit before believing fake news. https://t.co/P49ModsEiK

Suddenly everyone wanted to compare his vacation to PM Modi.Why are you so jealous that you are peddling fake propaganda? Where is Modi? Send him to talk to the farmers. he has got our tax money, not @RahulGandhi . https://t.co/iaFI8Dl0WR

Some Congress workers, however, quite easily accepted he was vacationing.
Why few journalists who are paid by Ambani & Adani dnt News coming to them about the death of farmers ?& why they don’t question about Modi Govt canceling winter session ?Why No News coming about petrol hike?But only about Mr Gandhi. Is it a mistake to care your grandma ? ? https://t.co/kLxs1l2vKe

However, the trolls were left red faced after Congress accepted that Rahul Gandhi has indeed gone off on a ‘personal trip’. While the party did not disclose the destination of his vacation, they have not denied Milan in Italy as the destination either. Congress also celebrates its 136th foundation day today.
