| Modi's Wife, Mother Vote in Lok Sabha Polls | | | Mehsana/Ahmedabad, Apr 30: Even as the BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi gears up for the big battle in Varanasi after his first Lok Sabha test in Vadodara, his wife Jashodaben and mother Heeraben Modi today voted from the Mehsana and Gandhinagar parliamentary constituencies., respectively.
A retired school teacher, Jashodaben cast her vote in the Kot Kuva area of Unjha town in Mehsana district. Modi for the first time publicly acknowledged Jashodaben as his wife in an affidavit filed by him from the Vadodara Lok Sabha seat, which is one of the two constituencies from where he is running for parliament. Jashodaben was accompanied by some of her relatives. However, she avoided speaking to the media and left hurriedly after casting her vote. Modi's marital status became a much talked about topic after it was raked up by opponents, compelling brother Soma Modi to clarify the matter. Modi's mother Heeraben voted in a school located at sector 22 of Gandhinagar. She arrived in an auto-rickshaw to cast her vote in Gandhinagar from where BJP veteran L K Advani is contesting. Advani is taking on Congress candidate Kirit Patel and AAP's Rituraj Mehta from the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat. |
