Rahul Gandhi returned to Delhi after spending two days campaigning in poll-bound Karnataka.

Earlier on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi shared photos of enjoying ice cream at a Nandini milk shop during his visit to Karnataka. "Sharing a picture on Twitter, he wrote, “Karnataka’s Pride - NANDINI is the best!"

Rahul Gandhi launched a series of attacks against the Centre on Sunday and announced a slew of poll promises of Congress in the State.

His move came in the wake of the state party leaders throwing their weight behind the homegrown dairy brand, amidst fears of its takeover by Gujarat's Amul. Opposition parties have been latching on the Amul vs Nandini row in the poll-bound state and the leaders of the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) have been making statements that the Amul is not entering the state. Amul had recently announced that it will sell dairy products in Bengaluru following which Opposition Congress and the JD(S) expressed their protest.

It is pertinent to mention that Rahul Gandhi was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison on Thursday in a 2019 criminal defamation case over his remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surname by a court in Gujarat's Surat. However, he was granted bail and his sentence was suspended for 30 days to let him appeal the decision.

The case was filed against Gandhi by BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi for saying "How come all thieves have the common surname Modi?"
