Sonia Gandhi, a former Congress President, has been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, according to a PTI report on Wednesday. Her daughter and the grand old party’s general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accompanied her to the hospital, the report said.
The PTI report said that Gandhi has been suffering from a respiratory infection. They said that Gandhi has been unwell since Tuesday which is why her son and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka had returned to Delhi after walking seven kilometres in the party’s ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. The yatra entered its Uttar Pradesh leg on Tuesday evening.
Siddaramaiah, a Congress leader and a former chief minister of Karnataka, expressed remorse for Gandhi’s hospitalisation and best wishes for a “speedy recovery and healthy return.”
“Sad to know that senior INC India leader Smt Sonia Gandhi is admitted to the hospital. I wish her a speedy recovery and healthy return,” he tweeted.
From UP’s Mavikalan in the Baghpat district, where the “Bharat Jodo Yatra” had stopped for the night, it set out again at 6:00 a.m.
Rahul was seen joining in the march this morning after being spotted wearing a white t-shirt throughout the yatra’s legs in Delhi and Haryana despite the severe weather. While the yatra resumed, Priyanka opted not to travel with him; however, sources inside the Congress told PTI that she is scheduled to return in the afternoon.
Gandhi, who has struggled with health concerns ever since getting Covid-19 last year, recently travelled abroad for a neck checkup. In Mandya, Karnataka, she also participated in the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” and later that day, in Delhi, she was spotted with Rahul, Priyanka, and her husband Robert Vadra. The entire Gandhi family came together for the first time for the Delhi leg of the yatra, which was the Congress’s largest outreach campaign to the general public and was, according to the grand old party, intended to unite the nation.
