New Delhi: Putting an end to all speculations, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday returned to Delhi from Europe trip.

A reshuffle of All India Congress Committee (AICC) office-bearers is likely now as the Congress leader is now returned from the foreign trip. He is likely to be elevated to the party's president post now.

Rahul Gandhi, whose foreign trips in the past have led to intense speculation, on Dec 28, had informed about his Europe trip through Twitter.

“I will be traveling to Europe for a few days. A very Happy New Year to everyone,” he said.

“Hope the new year brings much joy and happiness to you and everyone close to you!,” he wished.

This was the first time that Rahul Gandhi has tweeted to make public his plan to travel abroad.

His last two trips abroad were much talked about. His around two-month sabbatical after an AICC session in February this year to reflect upon the party’s debacle in Delhi elections and deliberate on a future course for Congress had led to BJP taking potshots at him.
