Before being sworn in as the member, she will address the party MPs.

Gandhi will take oath as a Lok Sabha member days ahead of the introduction in the House of a Bill on the office of profit, an issue on which she had quit in March.

Parliament sources said the bill is expected to be introduced on May 17, 2006 and would be taken up for consideration soon.

Gandhi won the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat by a record margin of more than 4.17 lakh votes less than seven weeks after resigning in the face of a opposition attack on her over the office of profit issue.

Gandhi, who is chairperson of Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP), is expected to speak about challenges facing the party with assembly elections scheduled in Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Punjab early next year, sources said.

This will be the first meeting of CPP general body after the assembly polls in Assam, Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, the outcome of which Congress has described as a win for UPA.
