Modhwadia's statement comes after the snooping scandal came to fore, in which suspended IAS officer Pradeep Sharma has alleged Modi of having intimate relationship with a young woman, who was being snooped by Gujarat Police.
Delivering an election speech in Surat yesterday, Modhwadia addressed Modi as ‘lafrabaj'.
By-elections to the Surat West assembly constituency were necessitated following the untimely death of sitting BJP MLA Kishore Vankawala's death.
