In a scathing response to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s recent remarks, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has labeled the comments as “distasteful and disgraceful.” Kharge had stated that he would remain alive until Prime Minister Narendra Modi is removed from power.
A Bitter Display of Spite
Shah took to social media platform X to express his disapproval, saying that Kharge’s comments reveal the “hate and fear” that Congress harbors for PM Modi. Shah emphasized that Kharge unnecessarily dragged PM Modi into his personal health matters, showcasing Congress’s relentless fixation on the Prime Minister.
Concern for Kharge’s Health
During a poll rally in Jammu and Kashmir, Kharge fainted but resumed his speech later. His son, Priyank Kharge, assured that his father is doing well, aside from slightly low blood pressure. PM Modi also reached out to Kharge, inquiring about his health.
