New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's wife Jashodaben on Friday broke her silence on her desire to live with her husband and said that she wants to live with him if he is ready too.
While speaking exclusively to Zee Media, she said, “agar wo lene aayen to main taiyar hoon (I am ready to go with him if he comes to take me).”
Modi acknowledged the 62-year-old as his wife for the first time at the time of filing his nomination for Vadodara Lok Sabha seat earlier this year.
She has also been provided with SPG security cover, which is given to the PM and members of immediate family.
Modi married her in 1968 when they were teenagers.
She has retired as a school teacher and lives a quiet life with her two brothers in Ishwarwada village in Mehsana district of north Gujarat.
