BJP MP Subramaniam Swamy has asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to come clean on his IIT-Kharagpur degree.
Citing RTI answers, Swami said Kejriwal did not come through competitive exams. “RTI papers show…..Kejriwal has no rank. It is a clear sign that he made it through other methods than entrance exams,” Swamy said.
“Finally the government realised this in 2005…but between 1952 and 2005, it has been going on regularly. Kejriwal got into the IIT in 1985.
“Kejriwal’s father was an employee of the Jindals. It appears they had gifted the IIT seat to Kejriwal.
So the man who talks about the poor people being denied these privileges, is himself is a product of these privileges, Swamy said of Kejriwal. “So I call upon Kejriwal to give an explanation if did he get into IIT through exams or through skulduggeries that used to take place.”
