NEW DELHI, May 13 (Xinhua) -- India's main opposition National Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi, who was hospitalized for food poisoning last Sunday, has been released.
Gandhi was discharged from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in the Indian capital Friday night, and her condition at the time of her release was "stable," D.S. Rana, the chairman of the hospital, told the media.
In November last year, 69-year-old Gandhi was admitted to the same hospital for two days after she was diagnosed with viral fever.
In August that year, she was taken to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital after she fell ill during a roadshow in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's parliamentary constituency of Varanasi in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
Gandhi is also head of the Nehru-Gandhi family that has mostly governed India since independence in 1947.
Her party was in power for a decade since 2004 before losing in 2014 general elections to Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party.
