Hark back to Indira: Sonia's transformation to Mrs G

There has been concern over Sonia Gandhi’s health and although members of the Congress party have been keen to find out about their party president’s health, most have respected the family’s decision to keep it within 10 Janpath. While good wishes have been pouring in, most party people including seniors have been kept away from meeting Mrs Gandhi who is recuperating after her surgery in the US. There has been speculation on her ailment but enquiries about her health have been kept discreet. For now, everyone is hoping that Sonia comes back to regain the reins of the party which seemed to be getting out of hand while she was away in the US. Here’s hoping things will improve, now that Mrs G is back. Her absence has also convinced people not only about the power she wields but also about her ability to keep things under control during challenging times. From one Mrs G to another, the women in the Gandhi family sure rise to the ocassion.
