The hospital check-up was described as a routine visit; however, hospital sources said that the 79-year-old politician had a chronic cough and respiratory problems, which were made worse by the pollution in the city. Upon medical examination, it was found that her bronchial asthma was exacerbated due to cold weather and pollution.
Her condition is currently stable, and she is under the watch of a chest specialist. She had also been responding well to medication.
The Congress party has not issued a formal statement on the condition of the senior leader.
Gandhi has been facing an increasing number of health challenges during the past few years. She has especially been affected by pollution and weather changes.
