These are the details of Rahul Gandhi’s educational qualifications filed in his election affidavit. In the affidavit, he states that he obtained an MPhil from Trinity College of the University of Cambridge, UK, in 1995, in Developmental Economics.
A certificate from the University shows that not only has he got dates wrong, he has even got the name of the course he took incorrect.
What is even more worse is that this man who wants to become the future Prime Minister of this country failed in one of his four papers.
Rahul got 58 per cent in “National Economic Planning and Policy” (according to the grading scale given in the certificate, 60 per cent is the minimum for a pass).
The certificate was issued in 2013 by Diana Kazemi, the secretary of the department of Development Studies (and not Developmental Economics as claimed by Rahul Gandhi) in which Rahul Gandhi studied.
According to the University, Rahul read for the MPhil in 2004- 05, and not in 1994-95, as stated in his affidavit. His affidavit’s other claim, to have obtained his Bachelors from Rollins College in Florida, USA, is true (and is a departure from earlier claims by ‘supporters’ that he graduated from Harvard).
He also briefly attended St Stephen’s College in Delhi, gaining admission through the sports quota. Sports quota?
This guy’s claims are full of loopholes and yet, he has enough clout to demand the suspension of the VC of UoH. Such is the political system in India. Can he even spell Vice- Chancellor?
