Kharge’s comments on PM Modi distasteful: Amit Shah
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi triggered a political controversy with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday terming them “disgraceful”.
“Yesterday, the Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge Ji has outperformed himself, his leaders and his party in being absolutely distasteful and disgraceful in his speech. In a bitter display of spite, he unnecessarily dragged PM Modi into his personal health matters by saying that he would die only after removing PM Modi from power,” Shah said in a post on X.
“It just shows how much hate and fear these Congress people have of PM Modi, that they are thinking of him constantly. As for the health of Mr. Kharge Ji, Modi Ji prays, I pray and we all pray that he lives a long, healthy life. May he continue to live for many years and may he live to see the creation of a Viksit Bharat by 2047,” Shah said.
While addressing a rally in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, Kharge, who became unwell, during his speech, said, “We will fight to restore statehood…I am 83. I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive till PM Modi is removed from power.”
