Web portal releases picture of Narendra Modi with 'Madhuri'

Picture released by Gulail shows Gujarat CM conversing with the woman in 2005.

Bangalore: Gulail.com, the investigative web portal, which charged BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi and his aide Amit Shah with government-sponsored snooping of a woman, has now published picture of the Gujarat CM with the woman architect.

The pictures were taken during the first edition of Kutch Sharad Utsav in October 2005, the website claimed. Madhuri reportedly worked as a guest coordinator during the festival.

In the picture, Modi could be seen engaged in an animated conversation with IAS Officer Pradeep Sharma and the woman architect from Bangalore, who was named as 'Madhuri' by the portal to protect her identity.

The post in the website reads: "These pictures raise a serious question mark about the credibility of the explanation put forth both by Madhuri’s father Premlal Soni and the BJP that only Premalal was known to Modi and it was he who had requested the CM to ‘take care’ of his daughter in 2009 when the illegal snooping operation was mounted. The pictures show that Modi knew Madhuri for at least five years before his state machinery mounted an illegal round the clock vigil on the young woman in August 2009."

"It also confirms that part of the affidavit filed by Sharma in the Supreme Court in which he had alleged that Madhurihad visited Modi when he came to inaugurate the ‘Sharad Utsav’ in October 2005. Sharma served as the collector of Kachchh district between 2003 and 2005," the post further said.

According to Sharma, Madhuri was also present in one of the tents on the night Modi was there, the website claims.

Pradeep Sharma, who got suspended by the Gujarat government, had tried to corner the CM alleging that the phone of the woman was being tapped illegally at his behest. The Narendra Modi government recently appointed a two-member Commission of Inquiry headed by a retired woman judge of the Ahmedabad High Court.
