Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Thursday offered to show his education degree from the United States, provided Prime Minister Narendra Modi also does the same.
“People are really running out of patience waiting to see my degree. The CJP convener’s latest remark is the second time he has turned the argument over his degree into a challenge for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He doubled down on his attack against the Prime Minister, saying, “Why did the Delhi high court refuse to disclose the PM’s degree? From what I’ve learned from the IT Cell over the last few days, anyone who doesn’t show their degree is apparently a fraud and a liar. “One of my best friends went to Boston University. However, Gupta added that the friend had later begun examining Dipke’s educational credentials.
Makes me wonder how they’ve managed for 12 years without seeing the Prime Minister’s,” the CJP leader said in a post on X.
A purported clip from the podcast is doing rounds on social media, in the clip, Gupta said one of his close friends had studied at Boston University and was also present during the protests. He did not disclose his friend’s name, just said that he is in media and also does podcasts. Boston University is also Abhijeet’s college,” Gupta said. He went on to describe his friend’s participation in the CJP-led protests and said that his friend was a staunch supporter of the agitation’s cause.
BJP leaders, meanwhile, have previously displayed Modi’s degree in public and maintained that the issue has already been settled legally.
A Surat-based RTI activist, Amit Tiwari, had sought an inquiry into the finances of Dipke’s father, Bhagwanrao Dipke, a retired Maharashtra government employee. Tiwari questioned how Dipke was able to afford education in the US while his father was working as a junior engineer with the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation.
