Prime Minister Narendra Modi's wife Jashoda Modi gets 24x7 security cover

AHMEDABAD: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's wife Jashoda Modi (62) has been provided a 24x7 security cover. "Jashoda Modi's security includes four armed policemen in plainclothes and a vehicle to keep a watch on her surroundings and any suspicious movement in her village. She will be accompanied by a constable round the clock," SB Trivedi, DSP Mehsana, told TOI.

Jashoda, a retired teacher, stays with her elder brother Ashok Modi in a modest house opposite the Ramji Mandir in Unjha.

Modi recently acknowledged Jashoda as his wife in the nomination papers filed during the Lok Sabha polls. He had left the column on his marital status blank during earlier elections.
