Ahmedabad, January 24:Gujarat Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil today alleged Chief Minister Narendra Modi used to get phones of politicians, including those from BJP and Opposition, tapped, a charge rejected by the ruling party.
The Leader of Opposition in Assembly distributed to media a copy of what he claimed the register of a senior IPS officer in support of his charge of telephone tapping by Modi.
The register belonged to ex-Additional DGP R B Sreekumar.
The state BJP, however, reacted strongly to Gohil’s allegation, saying the Congress leader was “out of his mind” and was levelling “baseless” charges against Modi.
State BJP Vice-President Purshottam Rupala, in a statement, said it was the Centre, which controls telecom companies, that was tapping phones of the Gujarat Government.
