Still I love him: Modi’s wife

People came to know about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s family life only after he mentions his wife Jasodaben’s name in his elections’ affidavit while filing his nomination forms from Vadodara in Gujarat. He married her when he was just 17 years, but don’t know what happens later, he deserted her within three years after their marriage, that is 48 years ago.

Ever since, they never met and never thought about second marriage. Even when Modi was Chief Minister of Gujarat state, Jasodaben used to live in a small house in a small village. She retired as a school teacher few years ago and is leading a simple life all these years.

Although, Modi deserted her long ago, she has been praying and performing pujas in a local temple all these years for his good health. However, she never comes to media talking about her husband. But, for the first time she came into media focus when she files an RTI application to know why ten security guards are escorting her and what rights she has under protocol procedures for being PM’s wife.

She asked the government to provide her the copy of G.O. that is providing security cover to her. She is feeling quite insecure with the security guards escorting her carrying weapons in hands. She spoke to media briefly when she came to file her RTI application.

She said “I still love my husband and prays for his good health. I feel quite happy and honored when I came to know that he mentioned my name in the elections affidavit. I think he still cares for me. I will be quite happy, if he invites me into his life even today. I love to serve him all my life without any expectations.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who won the hearts of crores of Indians across the country with his mesmerizing speeches and effective governance, should respect his wife’s feelings also. If he invites her into his life again, entire womenfolk in the country will feel quite happy and appreciate him.
