Soon after the BJP presented PM Narendra Modi’s degrees to the media today, AAM Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Ashutosh said that the degrees shown by BJP chief Amit Shah are forged.

“Amit Shah is not God. He can’t just show some degree in a press conference and claim that it’s real,” Ashutosh said in a press conference.

BJP chief releases copies of PM Modi’s degrees

BJP chief Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had earlier shown PM Modi’s BA degree from Delhi University and MA degree from Gujarat University, at a press conference. They also asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to apologize for lying about the PM’s educational qualifications.

“The name on mark-sheet is Narendra Kumar Damodar Das Modi, whereas on the degree it is Narendra Damodar Das Modi. Also the mark-sheet shows 1977, the degree was issued in 1978. How is that possible?” asked AAP leader Ashutosh.

The crux of AAP’s allegations is that no “Narendra Damodar Modi” ever passed out of the university in 1978 and a “Narendra Mahavir Modi” from Rajasthan’s Alwar had graduated that year.

As Mr Kejriwal demanded details of the prime minister’s education last month, the Central Information Commission directed the Delhi and Gujarat Universities to provide details. The Gujarat University said Mr Modi did complete his MA (Master of Arts) and scored 62.3 per cent as an external student. The Delhi University has not given any details till now.
