Rahul Gandhi: My mom wept as she couldn't vote for food security bill

It is the first time Rahul Gandhi has spoken publicly about his mother and Congress president's sudden illness while the Lok Sabha was debating the food bill Aug 26.
After much delay and uncertainty, the Food Security Bill was passed by Lok Sabha on August 26.

Gandhi, who is the main force behind the measure, could not participate in the voting as she had taken ill and had to leave the House at around 8.15 PM. She was later admitted in AIIMS and discharged after spending five hours in the hospital.

The bill seeks to provide cheap foodgrains to 82 crore people in the country, ushering in the biggest programme in the world to fight hunger.
