Chirag Paswan Criticizes Mallikarjun Kharge’s Remarks About PM Modi
Union Minister Chirag Paswan has criticized Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for using his health for political purposes. This came after Kharge remarked that he would stay alive until Prime Minister Narendra Modi is removed from power.
Paswan’s Comments
Speaking to reporters in Patna, Paswan said, “Mallikarjun Kharge is much older than me in age, status, and experience. We all respect his experience. Many young leaders learn from him. In such a situation, using such language is not right… Yesterday we were worried about his health.”
Paswan added, “On one hand, the Prime Minister enquired about his health, and on the other hand, he is doing politics. What kind of thinking is this that you are using your health for politics?”
Other Reactions
BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also accused the Congress of using abusive words against Prime Minister Modi. Poonawalla said, “We pray to God to give a long and healthy life to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge… But everyone can see that on one hand, our culture is that PM Modi immediately enquired about Mallikarjun Kharge’s well-being, whereas on the other hand, abusive words are used for PM Modi (by Congress)… This shows their (Congress) culture.”
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh commented on Kharge’s statement while addressing a public rally in Haryana. Singh said, “I respect the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, but yesterday in one of his rallies he might not be keeping well, and the security personnel were helping him, and even then he was saying I will stay alive until I remove Modi Ji from chair. I would like to tell him that the maximum age in Kalyug is 125 years. I pray to God that Mallikarjun Kharge lives for 125 years and PM Modi remains the PM for 125 years.”
