Gujarat government snooping on woman extended to Karnataka: Website

“Just like in the first batch of tapes, here too all the persons involved in this illegal operation, from Singhal to Sharma to Amit Shah, were passing on the information gathered to a superior authority who is repeatedly referred to as the ‘saheb',” it said.

When this “illegal surveillance” was launched, the woman was living in Bangalore and visited her friends and family in Gujarat every now and then.

“Her Bangalore numbers, it emerges from the tapes, were intercepted by the Gujarat police to get details about her personal life in the city,” it said.  BJP, however, said this is a handiwork of the “dirty tricks department” of Congress which is using its “paid institutions” to target Modi as it has so far failed to match up to him and his good governance model.  

BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said “after the defeat of Congress in four states, it was hoped that better sense would prevail on them. But unfortunately, they have resorted to their dirty tricks again. People will not believe in these things any more.

“Congress cannot match up to Modi and his model of good governance. Hence, it is indulging in such conspiracies by sometimes using CBI or through NGOs or its paid institutions to tarnish Modi's image,” he added.
