NCP leader Ajit Pawar says PM Modi won elections because of his charisma, not degrees

04 Apr 2023 Evaluate

Senior Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar said that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charisma and not his degree that helped him win the 2014 general elections.

Pawar made the statement while addressing a rally in Baramati, his home constituency. He stated that Modi's educational qualifications were not important and that it was his ability to connect with people that won him the elections. He said that it was the charisma Modi had created which helped him win the elections. He further asked if inflation will come under control or if people will get jobs if PM Modi gives clarification on his degrees. ‘In the medical sector, one needs to have an MBBS or other similar degree to practice, but there is no such thing in politics,’ Pawar added.

Notably, the Gujarat High Court last week set aside an order of the Central Information Commission (CIC) asking the Gujarat University to provide information on PM Modi’s degree to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Allowing the Gujarat University’s appeal against the CIC order, Justice Biren Vaishnav also imposed a cost of Rs 25,000 on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
