Watch: Rahul Gandhi spotted at nightclub in Nepal, BJP targets him with video

Rahul Gandhi was spotted at a nightclub in Nepal with a friend.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is in Nepal capital Kathmandu to attend a friend’s wedding, local reports have said, and was spotted at a nightclub providing enough fodder to the BJP to take a direct aim at the Wayanad MP with a barrage of tweets.

Accompanied by three friends, Gandhi landed in Kathmandu on Monday and is staying at the Marriott Hotel, reports said.

He will be attending the wedding of former CNN correspondent Sumnima Udas.

Just a day after he reached the neighbouring country, a video of Rahul Gandhi at a loud nightclub with a friend started being circulated by the BJP on social media. The ruling party's IT cell blasted the former Congress chief by saying, “He is at a nightclub at a time when his party is exploding”.

Rahul Gandhi was at a nightclub when Mumbai was under seize. He is at a nightclub at a time when his party is exploding. He is consistent.

Interestingly, soon after the Congress refused to outsource their presidency, hit jobs have begun on their Prime Ministerial candidate... pic.twitter.com/dW9t07YkzC

In a press conference too, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala countered the BJP's potshots.

"Rahul Gandhi has gone to Nepal, a friendly country, to attend a journalist's wedding. There is nothing wrong. It's a matter of our culture. It's not a crime. Maybe PM and BJP will soon decide it's a crime to participate in weddings of friends and family members," he said.
