New Delhi: BJP on Friday accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of lowering his chair's dignity by levelling "unfounded" allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his educational qualification and said it was being done to divert attention from AgustaWestland case involving Congress.
"Parties and leaders supporting Congress are levelling unfounded allegations about the Prime Minister's educational qualification to provide relief to it. It is quite a coincidence that when a serious debate is on over the AgustaWestland case, they are doing so to deflect attention," Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
He termed the charges as "a complete lie" and said "the post of the Prime Minister has certain dignity. Modi is a popularly elected leader. It is painful to see a chief minister frequently levelling unfounded and petty charges (against him). Arvind Kejriwal is lowering the dignity of the chief minister's post".
Keeping the issue of PM Modi's degree alive, Mr Kejriwal has written to the Delhi University Vice Chancellor and tweeted that forging a degree was a "criminal offence".
