Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Friday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a man ‘not educated enough’, while questioning the authenticity of his educational qualifications.

Addressing a presser in New Delhi, Kejriwal said that Modi’s ‘inadequate’ education resulted in his poor understanding of India’s economy. The demonetisation drive, Kejriwal claimed, was ushered in by an uninformed Modi, at the behest of BJP President Amit Shah.

If the degree is genuine, why is Modiji reluctant to show it? Why is he hiding his degree?

The Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) had in April directed the Gujarat and Delhi Universities to disclose details of Modi's graduation and post-graduation degrees to Kejriwal after he approached CIC. Kejriwal claims that so far he has failed to receive any evidence pertaining to the PM’s claimed degrees.

Further, the AAP Supremo demanded that the money deposited in banks in the form of old currency notes be used to waive off loans of farmers and small-time traders. Kejriwal, however, warned the Centre against using the money so deposited to help those like Vijay Mallya, who’ve fled the country.
