Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who was in Shimla along with her daughter Priyanka Vadra, was rushed to New Delhi owing to her ill health, officials said. This is not  the first time Sonia Gandhi, 71,  had to cut short her visit due to ill health.

According to reports, the UPA chairperson had come to Shimla to inspect her under-construction house at Chharabra, 15 km from the state capital , complained of restlessness last midnight, following which she was taken to Delhi.

She was initially taken to Chandigarh from Shimla on Thursday night and from there the Congress leader was taken back to New Delhi in a special aircraft.

“Since she (Sonia Gandhi) refused to get examined the at Indira Gandhi Medical College (in Shimla) and insisted on reaching Chandigarh, she was taken to Chandigarh late night and from there she was taken to New Delhi,” an official told IANS.

Sonia Gandhi and her daughter were staying at the Wildflower Hall, an Oberoi Group luxury resort.

Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital Medical Superintendent Ramesh Chand accompanied the Congress leader from Shimla to Chandigarh. “Her condition was stable,” Chand told IANS.
