Make PM's degree public: Kejriwal urges DU V-C

New Delhi, May 5 (IBNS): Taking his fight a step forward, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday wrote a letter to Delhi University Vice-Chancellor and urged him to make Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degree public.

"It will be better if you upload the degree on DU website," Kejriwal wrote to DU V-C Yogesh Tyagi.

The people of this nation have the right to  know how much educated our Prime Minister is," he said.

 Kejriwal on Tuesday said that Modi does not hold a BA degree from the Delhi University (DU) as he had claimed.

"Why is DU refusing info abt PM's degree? Becoz he does not have it ," Kejriwal tweeted.

"No records in DU related to his enrolment, his degree, his marksheets and convocation," he said.

After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's letter to the Central Information Commission (CIC), it has been now revealed that Prime minister Narendra Modi completed his post-graduation in Political Science from the Gujarat University with a 62.3% score, media reports said.

The Prime Minister's Office was recently asked to come clear on Narendra Modi's education details.

The matter became a formal RTI query.

The Central Information Commission (CIC) had asked the PM's Office to give a response on the same.

The PM's office was earlier asked for details like his roll number so that the Delhi University and Gujarat University reveal information about his degree.

Kejriwal, who on Thursday had written to the Central Information Commission (CIC) demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's educational qualification be made public, received support from his party as it said that the degree hardly matters but honesty does.

While contesting the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi had declared that he has a BA degree from the Delhi University and a Master's from the Gujarat University.
