‘Bitter Display Of Spite’: Amit Shah Slams Mallikarjun Kharge Over Remarks On PM Modi

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday hit out at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

While delivering a speech at an election rally at Jasrota in Jammu on Sunday, Kharge felt dizzy. But soon he resumed his speech and remarked that he won’t die until PM Modi is removed from power. “I am 83. I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive till PM Modi is removed from power,” he said, adding, “I wanted to talk. But due to dizziness, I have sat down. Please pardon me.”

Terming Kharge’s remarks “absolutely distasteful and disgraceful”, Shah said it was “a bitter display of spite” on behalf of the senior Congress leader. 

“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 wrote on X.

Shah said Kharge’s remarks show how much hate and fear the Congress has for PM Modi. 

“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,” the Home Minister added.
