AAP team visits Delhi University to check PM Modi's BA degree

A group of Aam Aadmi Party leaders headed by Ashutosh reached Delhi University today to verify Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BA degree. During a press conference yesterday, BJP president Amit Shah had flashed PM Modi's BA and MA degrees after the AAP accused the PM of presenting forged certificates.

However, the AAP contingent failed to get an appointment from the vice chancellor. The university administration has asked AAP leaders to come tomorrow.

"They are telling us he is busy. We want to meet the VC so that the truth comes out," AAP leader Ashish Khetan said.

Here are the latest updates:

1. Heavy police deployment was made at the Delhi University as AAP leaders Ashutosh and Sanjay Singh arrived at the university office to check Modi's BA degree.
2. The Delhi University had yesterday clarified that the PM's records have been maintained in DU and he cleared his BA exams from the University in 1978. He was awarded the degree in 1979.
3. DU also said that two different roll numbers were allotted to Modi in 1977 and 1978 and his name 'Narendra Kumar Damodar Das Mody', which was seen on a marksheet flashed by AAP leader Ashutosh on TV, was a spelling mistake.
4. Yesterday, BJP president Amit Shah flashed PM Modi's BA and MA degrees at a press conference and demanded an apology from AAP for raking up a false issue, the AAP hit back, claiming that the degrees displayed by the BJP president were fake.
5. "PM Narendra Modi's degrees shown by Amit Shah and Arun Jaitley are fake and forged," AAP leader Ashutosh had said as he asked how the two degrees have two different names.
6. BJP MLA from Delhi's Babarpur constituency Naresh Gaur also claimed that Modi had stayed with him in 1974 when he came to Delhi to appear for his BA first year exams at Delhi University.
7. "Modi ji stayed with me at the ABVP office at 33, Bungalow Road when he came to appear for his first year BA exams. He was an ordinary party worker back then," Gaur, a three-time legislator from Babarpur constituency in north-east Delhi, said.
8. However, Ashutosh had junked Gaur's claims. "Modi claimed that during emergency he was underground. Then how he appeared for BA exam?" Ashutosh had tweeted.
