Rahul joins Priyanka in attacking Modi on snoopgate

Sitapur (UP): Rahul Gandhi today joined his sister Priyanka Gandhi in attacking Narendra Modi over snoopgate controversy, saying Gujarat government has no regard for women as it gets their phones tapped.  Addressing an election rally

It was alleged that Gujarat authorities had carried out illegal surveillance on a young woman in 2009 on direction of Modi, a charge rejected by BJP.

The Union Cabinet had on December 26 last year decided to set up the Commission of Inquiry to probe into the Gujarat snoopgate. The decision was taken under the Commissions of Inquiry Act under which the Modi government has already set up a similar panel.

“Modi who wants to guard the country sidelined senior BJP leaders like Jaswant Singh and L K Advani,” the Congress Vice President said at the rally today.
