Kharge falls ill during rally, PM calls up to wish him recovery

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday to enquire about his health after the opposition leader felt unwell while addressing a rally and required medical assistance in Jasrota of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district.

After receiving medical attention, Congress president Kharge said he was “not going to die” until Modi was removed from office.

Congress functionaries said Kharge was stable after a check-up by doctors. Sources said the Prime Minister called up the Congress chief and wished him good health.

Kharge felt dizzy while addressing a poll rally and was helped to a chair by his colleagues and later underwent a medical check-up. “I am 83 years old, I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive until PM Modi is removed from power. I will listen to you. I will fight for you,” he said in his speech.

Before this, Kharge had to put off his rallies in Haryana’s Ambala and Gharaunda on Sep 23 due to health reasons. Congress had then issued a statement that he had been advised rest.
