New Delhi [India], September 30 : On Congress National President Malikarjun Kharge's statement of staying alive till Prime Minister Narendra Modi is removed from power, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nalin Kholi on Monday said that Kharge has the right to have a political agenda and the issues should not be mixed.
Speaking to ANI, Kohli said "If there was a concern about his health, PM Modi called him after his health spoilt, that is on a level of human courtesy and not politics. About Kharge's desire to say that I am going to live as long as I can so that I can evict Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the position of the Prime Minister. That is for the people to decide. The people of India have already blessed PM Modi to serve the country in 2014, 2019 and now again in 2024. Kharge is entitled to have a political agenda, and I don't think we should mix it.
On Sunday, Kharge had fallen sick while addressing a public meeting in Kathua.
Congress leader Thakur Balbir Singh said that the Congress President felt suffocated due to the extreme heat. Despite this, Kharge completed his speech.
"He felt suffocated because of the extreme heat, yet he still completed his speech. He will rest and then proceed to his next event in Ramnagar," Singh said.
After resting, Kharge resumed his speech, reassuring the crowd that he was fine, stating, "I am not going to die so early."
"We will fight to restore statehood. I am 83 years old, and I am not going to die so soon. I will live until PM Modi is removed from power," Kharge added.
During his address in Jasrota, Kharge criticised the BJP-led central government, accusing them of running a remote-controlled administration through the Lieutenant Governor.
"These people (the central government) never intended to hold elections. If they had wanted to, they would have done so within a couple of years. They only started preparing after the Supreme Court's order. PM Modi has done nothing for the youth of India in the past 10 years. Ask BJP leaders if they have brought prosperity in the last decade," he remarked.
