New Delhi: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, who was out of the public eye for nearly two months, was back on Thursday. The BJP, however, said "you just cannot shy away from your duties". He is supposed to address a farmers' rally against the Land Acquisition Bill on Sunday. "He (Rahul Gandhi) is back...I have no doubt that he will be not only taking proactive measures but also with dynamism, with commitment, provide leadership," Congress leader Anand Sharma said.
Forty-four-year-old Rahul Gandhi, out of sight since the budget session of Parliament began on February 23, returned after 56 days amid intense speculation regarding his whereabouts. There were different versions to his sojourn, with one version saying he was in Myanmar, a second said Thailand and the third talking about Vietnam.

He landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport at 10.45 am on Thai Airways flight TG 323 from Bangkok, a source at the airport authority said. Some party workers burst firecrackers and celebrated outside Rahul Gandhi's 12, Tughlaq Lane residence, where he arrived around noon.
His mother and party president Sonia Gandhi as well as his sister Priyanka Gandhi were already present, an AICC official said. Congress leader RPN Singh said: "Today Congressmen are very happy that Rahul Gandhi ji is back". Another leader Sandeep Dikshit said: "We welcome him (Rahul Gandhi) back, had been waiting for a long time".
A TV channel showed photographs of Rahul Gandhi sitting in a vehicle as an SPG commando stood close by. The BJP, meanwhile, took a dig at him. "There is nothing called as part time politics, it's a complete full time job," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said. "You just cannot shy away from your duties that you have promised to deliver."
