**Jammu and Kashmir:** Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, while campaigning for the upcoming elections in Jammu and Kashmir, has vowed to fight for the restoration of statehood for the region. He also issued a bold challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, declaring that he will not die until Modi is removed from power.

Kharge, who became unwell while addressing a rally in Kathua district, made the statement after receiving medical attention. Accusing the BJP government of delaying statehood and favoring outsiders in key sectors, Kharge asserted that the Congress party will not relent in its pursuit of restoring the region’s status.

He also criticized the BJP’s handling of the economy, highlighting the high unemployment rate and lack of job creation under Modi’s tenure. Kharge alleged that the BJP is attempting to distract from its failures by raising irrelevant issues during the election campaign.

Prime Minister Modi reportedly called Kharge to inquire about his health after the incident, expressing concern for the Congress leader’s well-being.

The Congress party’s stance on Jammu and Kashmir and its challenge to Prime Minister Modi are sure to add fuel to the political fire as the election campaign intensifies.
