The PTI report stated, citing the sources, 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.

Congress leader and former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah lamented over Gandhi's hospitalisation and wished her 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.

The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ resumed at 6am today from UP's Mavikalan in Baghpat district after halting there for the night.

Rahul, who has been seen in a white t-shirt throughout the yatra's legs in Haryana and Delhi despite biting cold, was snapped walking in the march this morning. Priyanka, meanwhile, did not join his brother after the yatra resumed but Congress sources told PTI that she is expected to come back in afternoon.

Gandhi, who has been battling health issues since contracting Covid-19 last year, had travelled abroad for a neck checkup a few months ago. She also joined the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ in Karnataka's Mandya and was later seen with Rahul, Priyanka and her husband Robert Vadra in Delhi. The Delhi leg of the yatra was the first time the entire Gandhi family came together for Congress's biggest public outreach movement, which the grand old party has stated is aimed at bringing the country together.
