PM Modi’s niece fails to get BJP ticket for civic polls in Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s niece Sonal Modi has been denied a ticket by the BJP to contest the upcoming civic body polls in Ahmedabad.

This comes after the Gujarat BJP’s decision of not considering relatives of party leaders for ticket allocation for the upcoming polls. Sonal, however, claimed she sought election ticket as a BJP worker, not as PM’s niece.

Sonal Modi is  a homemaker and is the daughter of PM Modi’s brother Prahlad Modi, who owns a fair price shop in the city and is also the president of Gujarat Fair Price Shops Association.
