Rahul's promotion postponed, Cong waits for Sonia to recover

August 25, 2016 11:43

The AICC session in Bengaluru and Rahul Gandhi's elevation as Congress president have both been postponed to December due to the sudden ill health of Sonia Gandhi. Senior Congress leaders are concerned about her condition and few had a chance to interact with her.

Seeing her with a bandage around her shoulder and looking weak, they had suggested that she focus on her health first. Programmes scheduled over the next month have been either cancelled or rescheduled on her doctor's advice. Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi are also keeping a constant watch on her health.

Sonia Gandhi is undergoing treatment at Sir Ganga Ram hospital in New Delhi after taking ill during a roadshow in Varanasi. She was admitted on August 3 with fever, dehydration and a shoulder injury.
