At a rally in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge sparked controversy by stating that he wouldn’t die until Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “removed” from power. This comment came after Kharge felt unwell and experienced dizziness during the rally. The following day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized Kharge for dragging PM Modi into his personal health issues, calling it unnecessary.
On Sunday, PM Modi called Kharge to check on his health after the Congress leader required medical attention at an event. Kharge’s remarks have ignited political tensions, with Shah responding sharply and accusing him of politicizing a personal matter. Kharge was in J&K campaigning on the last day for the Assembly elections.
