“The Congress president returned early today and is fine,” party general secretary Janardan Dwivedi said.

Congress sources said Gandhi, 64, would need about a month to fully recuperate. During this time, Dwivedi, AK Antony, Rahul Gandhi and Ahmed Patel are expected to continue to take care of party affairs.

On her return, Gandhi — reportedly accompanied by daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra — expressed sorrow over the high court blast and thanked all those who wished her a quick recovery. Video
