Kharge later took a dig at BJP and said that he is not going to die till he remove PM Modi from power.

“We will fight to restore statehood. I am turning 83, I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive till PM Modi is removed from power,” said Kharge.

He was admitted to a hospital in Kathua after the rally but was later discharged. Mallikarjun’s son Priyank Kharge also gave an update on his father’s health and said, “Congress President Sri Kharge felt slightly unwell while addressing a public meeting in Jasrota, Jammu & Kashmir. He has been checked upon by his medical team and apart from slightly low blood pressure, he is doing well. Extremely grateful for everyone’s concern. His resolve, along with people’s good wishes, keeps him going strong.”
