Thu Feb 20 19:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Congress Leader Sonia Gandhi Hospitalized in Delhi
**NEW DELHI** – Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi on Thursday evening for a routine check-up, sources confirmed. While the exact time of admission remains unclear, reports suggest she was admitted earlier in the day. The 78-year-old leader is under the observation of a team of doctors and is expected to be discharged as early as Friday morning.
Gandhi was last seen publicly on February 13th during the budget session of Parliament. On February 10th, she urged the government to expedite the census process, citing concerns that approximately 140 million people are missing out on benefits under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) due to outdated population data. In her address to the Rajya Sabha, she highlighted the discrepancy between the beneficiaries identified based on the 2011 census and the current population figures. She previously lauded the NFSA, enacted in 2013, as a landmark achievement in ensuring food and nutritional security for India’s population.
