The BJP on Friday hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and accused him of “peddling lies” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Gujarat High Court order.
Head of BJP’s I-T department, Amit Malviya, said, “Gujarat High Court slams Arvind Kejriwal, imposes a fine of Rs 25,000 on him for filing frivolous petitions, asking about Prime Minister’s degree.”
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted, “lying & making obnoxious remarks, peddling lies against the chair of the PM has be come a fashion & Kejriwal is in strong competition with Rahul Gandhi in this regard. But today he has been shown his place by High Court!”
He added, “Hope Kejriwal ji doesn’t make scurrilous comments on judiciary like Rahul now! That would count as being ‘literate and yet uneducated’.”
Another BJP spokesperson Tom Vadakkan said, “nemesis is fast catching up”.
Meanwhile, in a sharp reaction, Arvind Kejriwal said, “Does not the country have the right to know the academic qualification of the prime minister?”
The Delhi CM tweeted in Hindi to say, “He vehemently opposed showing the degree in the court. Why? And those who demand to see the degree will be fined? What’s happening?”
“Illiterate or less educated PM is very dangerous for the country,” Kejriwal alleged.
