Hitting back at Narendra Modi, former union minister Jayanthi Natarajan today said she was targeted since as the environment minister she had stoutly opposed destruction of environment under BJP-ruled Gujarat.

"It is a targeted personal attack. I totally deny what he says. It is completely baseless. There are major green violations in Gujarat. He was destroying the environment. I was opposed to his destruction of environment," Natarajan told PTI.

Modi had earlier today made a veiled reference to the removal of Jayanti Natarjan from Environment Ministry saying for the first time he had heard of "Jayanti tax" apparently referring to allegations during her tenure.
