Rahul Gandhi down with fever, PM Modi wishes speedy recovery

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has wished a speedy recovery to Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, who is down with high fever, Health Minister J P Nadda said today.

"Got to know that Rahul Gandhi is not well from Hon'ble PM who was quite concerned about his health. In view of the concerns of Hon'ble PM, I enquired about his health and wished a speedy recovery for him," Nadda tweeted.

Congress sources said Gandhi is still suffering from high viral fever and the doctors have advised him to take rest.
