Modi releases degrees amid 鈥榝ake graduation鈥 row
Print Edition
INDIAN Prime Minister Narendra Modi was forced yesterday to produce his college degrees, days after bitter political rivals accused him of lying about graduating from university.
At a press conference in the capital, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and ruling party chief Amit Shah released copies of Modi’s Bachelor of Arts and Masters degrees and accused the opposition of running a smear campaign.
Bharatiya Janata Party president Shah demanded Aam Admi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal apologize for “spreading lies” about the prime minister, as a political row over the degrees intensified.
“If you (Kejriwal) did not have any proof how did you make such an allegation? You have tried to spread lies. You must apologize publicly to the nation,” Shah told a televised press conference. “It’s unfortunate that we have to hold such a press conference at all.”
Jaitley, Modi’s top lieutenant, accused Kejriwal of attempting to mislead voters instead of getting on with the job of governing the Indian capital.
Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal, a bitter Modi rival, last week accused the premier of lying about graduating from Delhi University with a BA and obtaining a Masters in Political Science from Gujarat University.
