Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi said his mother caught a stomach bug while in Himachal Pradesh but is much better now.

"Ma (Sonia) was in Shimla and caught a stomach bug so we got her back. Nothing to worry, she's much better. Thanks for the tremendous love and concern," said Rahul Gandhi on Twitter.
