NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has claimed it has documents that prove the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s university degree is fake.
AAP Chief wrote a letter to the Delhi Universityon Friday urging it to publish Modi’s degree on its website for the public, the NDTV reported.
AAP alleges that that no "Narendra Damodar Modi" passed out of the university in 1978 as the PM had professed in his 2014 poll papers.
The AAP claims to have tracked down the degree certificate of Narendra Mahavir Modi, from Alwar in Rajasthan, who graduated in 1978. But Modi is from Vadnagar in Gujarat, the party says, citing his school certificates.
The NDTV contacted PM Modi's namesake, he confirmed that he was in the Delhi University between 1975 and 1978. "It is a lovely coincidence that I am also called Narendra Modi...it is a matter of pride for me," he said.
The Bharatiya Janata Partysaid that the allegations were too “silly” to respond to.
