In a major development, Rahul Gandhi has canceled his scheduled election campaign visit to Kerala following the hospitalization of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi. According to sources, Sonia Gandhi’s health deteriorated last night, prompting her admission to the Ganga Ram Hospital. Her condition is currently reported to be stable, but the situation led Rahul Gandhi to call off his Kerala tour, which included a key rally in Kozhikode. Taking his place, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has departed for Kerala to address supporters and continue party activities in Rahul Gandhi’s absence. The decision underscores the importance of family and party responsibilities for senior Congress leaders during critical election periods. This cancellation marks Rahul Gandhi’s first major campaign event in Kerala since the announcement of the state’s upcoming assembly elections. Party sources confirmed that arrangements were swiftly made to ensure that the campaign momentum continues despite the sudden change in leadership for the rally. The Congress party has urged supporters and media to respect Sonia Gandhi’s privacy and focus on her recovery. The development also highlights the careful balancing of personal and political responsibilities among the party’s top leaders. Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders remain actively involved in election strategy and public engagement, even as health concerns temporarily alter planned events. Congress officials continue to monitor the situation closely, ensuring that election campaigns proceed smoothly while prioritizing the well-being of their senior leadership.
