Where is Jashodaben?

New Delhi: Narendra Modi’s wife Jashodaben, who was rumoured to be on a ‘char dham’ pilgrimage after the Gujarat Chief Minister accepted for the first time that he is married, is actually staying in yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s ashram. 

A report in a magazine has claimed that Jashodaben is being kept in one of the ashrams of Ramdev near the Neelkanth Mahadev temple in Rishikesh in Uttarakhand until the elections are over. 

The magazine has cited sources in the Vishva Hindu Parishad as saying that “soon after Modi acknowledged Jashodaben as his wife, Hindu activists and security professionals dressed as pilgrims arrived on her doorsteps in three white SUVs. They told her that her long-standing wish for a char dham yatra had come true. Sources said the group took her to Ahmedabad, where she boarded a chartered flight to Aurangabad near the Uttar Pradesh-Uttarakhand border, and then to Ramdev’s isolated mountain-top ashram at Rishikesh. Labourers in the ashram say a lady was seen arriving in a white vehicle on April 13.”
