Wrap-up: PM, BJP rattled by degree row

BJP on Monday released copies of BA and MA degrees of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in response to Aam Aadmi Party’s allegations questioning his degree from Delhi but AAP hit back saying the documents were “forged” and had “glaring discrepancies.” In a bid to set at rest the row over Modi’s educational qualifications, the top honchos of the party, the BJP President Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley released  the graduation degree taken from Delhi University and the  masters’ degree from Gujarat University. “Arvind Kejriwal has been spreading lies about the Prime Minister’s credentials. He should apologise to the entire nation,” said Shah.

However, days later Delhi University said Modi’s B.A. degree that is being circulated is “authentic”.
