Sonia has often suffered from ailments in recent years
In recent years, Sonia Gandhi has taken ill often. In 2016, she fell sick while campaigning in Varanasi and had to cancel a road trip. She keeps travelling to the US for treatment, but the Congress hasn't revealed details of her ailment. This is her third hospitalization this year. In January, she suffered from fever and chest congestion, and had food poisoning in May.
