Slamming the BJP on the issue of a young woman being stalked allegedly at the behest of Amit Shah, close aide of Modi, Union minister Kapil Sibal said the time has come for the main opposition to come clean on the "real story behind the manufactured one".
Sibal rubbished BJP chief Rajnath Singh's allegation that the "dirty tricks department" of the Congress is behind the whole issue.
In Mumbai, finance minister P Chidambaram took a dig at the Modi government, saying that in the "wonderful state of Gujarat, security is provided by stalking and snooping".
"The first time I have heard that there is a request for providing security and in that wonderful state, security is provided by stalking and snooping," he told reporters.
He was asked about Shah, former minister of state for home in Gujarat, being accused of misusing his powers and police machinery for illegal surveillance of a young woman in 2009.
"I think this is condemnable. Providing security isn't the same as stalking, providing security is not the same as snooping," he said.
Faced with a blistering Congress attack on Modi, BJP said the ruling party is engaging in "mafia-style politics to target the opposition through proxies like CBI and IAS officer Pradeep Sharma" as it cannot defeat them in an open contest.
Two investigative news portals, Cobrapost and Gulail, had claimed on November 15 that Shah had ordered illegal surveillance of the woman at the behest of one "saheb".
They had released taped conversation between Shah and IPS officer G L Singhal to support their claim but said its authenticity could not be confirmed.
