NEW DELHI: Ahead of the budget session, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi took "leave of absence" to reflect on a series of electoral defeats and deliberate on the future course of the 125-year-old party, top sources said here Monday.

"Rahul Gandhi has been granted leave of absence for 'aap chintan, aap manthan' (introspection)," a party leader told IANS.

"He will not be in Delhi until the end of this week to attend the presentation of the budget," he said.

However, the entire duration of absence is not known, another source added.

The budget session began Monday, with the address of President Pranab Mukherjee to the joint session of parliament.

Rahul has been "granted leave of absence for a few weeks after which he will return and resume his active participation in the affairs of the Congress party", party sources said.

They said he has "requested Congress President Sonia Gandhi for some time to reflect on recent events and future course of the party".

He believes that the direction that the party adopts at the upcoming AICC session will be of crucial importance for its future and he wishes to prepare for it, the sources said.

Congress has been performing badly at the hustings, which started with the Lok Sabha elections last year and continued in the Assembly elections in various states including Delhi recently.

The debacle in Delhi, where Congress failed to get even one seat in the 70-member House, was more stunning as the party had ruled the state for 15 years till December 2013.

The AICC session is expected in early April and media reports have suggested that Rahul could be made the party chief on that occasion.
