Modi doesn’t have DU degree, alleges Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has alleged that India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi

 does not have a BA degree from Delhi University (DU).

“DU refuses to show records of Prime Minister’s degree. Why? My info – he did not do BA from DU,” the Aam Aadmi Party chief said.

He said there were “no records in DU” and that the purported degree of Modi published by some newspapers were “forged”.

“Why is DU refusing (to give) info about Prime Minister’s degree? Because he does not have it. No records in DU related to his enrolment, his degree, his marksheets and convocation.”

The Central Information Commission had last month directed Delhi University and Gujarat University to provide information on degrees earned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who had criticised the functioning of the transparency panel.

In his election affidavit, PM Modi had claimed that he completed a distance education course in political science from Delhi University in 1978.
