| Rahul Gandhi today targeted Narendra Modi after his admission in a poll affidavit that he is married to Jashodaben, a retired school teacher who he separated from decades ago.
"We don't know how many elections he has fought, for the first time he has written that he is married," Mr Gandhi said, addressing a rally in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir. (In poll affidavit, Narendra Modi says Jashodaben is his wife)
The Congress vice president also referred to "Stalk-gate", or the alleged spying on a young woman in Gujarat in 2009, allegedly on the orders of the state government.
"In Delhi, they talk about respecting women... but his wife's name never found its way to the affidavit... The Chief Minister's total focus and the focus of the entire police force goes into snooping on one woman. Gujarat cops run after one woman because the CM wants to know what is happening. Then there's a poster put up in Delhi saying respect women. What kind of respect is this?" Mr Gandhi said.
The BJP's Nirmala Sitharaman said, "Rahul Gandhi should read Mr Modi's affidavit properly. He never lied, there was nothing illegal."
Mr Modi surprised many when, in his poll affidavit as the BJP's candidate from Vadodara in Gujarat, he wrote the name "Jashodaben" in the column for spouse - a field he had left blank in the four assembly elections he contested in the past.
