A BJP leader shared a video of Rahul Gandhi partying abroad. The viral video shows a Congress leader accompanied by a friend at a nightclub, with people dancing to the loud music in the background believed to be in Kathmandu.
Rahul Gandhi in Nepal
The Congress party on Tuesday said its senior leader and former party president Rahul Gandhi is in Nepal to attend the wedding of a journalist friend. The statement came soon after Amit Malviya, the head of the BJP’s information and technology department, shared a video on Twitter reportedly showing Wayanad MP at a nightclub.
“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…,” he tweeted.

Night Club in Kathmandu
According to reports, the video was shot at a popular nightclub (Lord of the Drinks) in Kathmandu. Rahul Gandhi was in the Nepal capital on Monday to attend the wedding of his journalist friend Sumnima Udas at the Marriot Hotel.
When asked about the viral video, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala told reporters: “Rahul Gandhi has not gone as an uninvited guest like Prime Minister Modi went to Pakistan to celebrate a birthday and cut cakes for the then Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif. Rahul Gandhi has gone to a friendly country Nepal to participate in a private marriage function of a friend. By chance, the friend also happens to be a journalist. So I think they are also abusing your fraternity.”
“Last when I checked, having a family in this country, having friends in this country, attending a marriage, engagement ceremonies is a matter of our culture and civilization. It has still not become a crime in this country to be married, to be friends with someone, or to attend their marriage celebration,” Surjewala said.
“Maybe after today Prime Minister Modi and the BJP may decide that it is illegal to attend a marriage. They may say it is a crime to have friends or participate in family functions. But do let me know so that we all change our status, habits, and civilizational practices of attending the marriage of friends as also family,” he added.
