Prime Minister Narendra Modi's wife, Jashodaben, has filed an RTI application asking for an
explanation of the sort of security that she gets from the government.
After Mr Modi was elected in May, Jashodaben was given round-the-clock security; she is protected by 10 commandos, five per shift, provided by state government.
In her three-page application, Jashoda, a retired school teacher who lives in Brahmanwada village of Unjha town of Mehsana district, has said, Acc to reports, I am the wife of the Prime Minister, I seek details on what other facilities other than security cover I am entitled to...I should be provided a certified copy of the order under which security is provided to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's family members, brothers, sisters and me.
She
has also stated, I travel by public transport while my security personnel
travel in official vehicles. She asked detail about all security person gardening her.
In April, Mr Modi for the first time publicly declared that he is married - he had not commented before that on reports that he had an arranged marriage when he was 17. In election papers declaring him a candidate for Parliament, he wrote the name "Jashodaben" in a column regarding his marital status. He had left the column blank on previous occasions, including in the last Gujaratstate election in 2012.
The Congress party had said that Mr Modi's failure to acknowledge his marriage suggested that he does not respect women.
Jashodaben told a newspaper in February this year that Mr Modi left her after three years, during which they spent some three months together.
