UPCC chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi offers to resign after the party's debacle in the state. She met Sonia Gandhi this morning and gave in her resignation. Joshi said Sonia kept her resignation letter and will take a decision later. Sonia is believed to have told her to pull up her socks and move ahead.

 

Meanwhile, Sonia Gandhi could not attend a function to release a commemmorative stamp in the memory of late party veteran Shyamacharan Shukla in New Delhi as she is indisposed. Highly placed sources said Gandhi developed "mild fever" in the morning and, hence, her scheduled visit to Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh's official residence at 7, Race Course Road to participate in the function did not take place. 

 

Party sources said that there was nothing serious as her health is otherwise fine.
Gandhi had returned from abroad on March 5 after a "routine check up" for her undisclosed ailment. She had gone out of the country for the check up on Februrary 27 following a surgery over six months back.
