Congress attacks Smriti over academic qualification

The Congress on Friday accused Union Minister Smriti Irani of furnishing "contradictory information" about her educational qualifications in the affidavits filed during various elections since 2004.

The attack came a day after Irani, who is contesting against Congress President Rahul Gandhi from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, declared in her affidavit that she was not a graduate."Smriti Irani has proved one thing that how one can be a 12th class pass from being a graduate. It is possible in only under Modi government," Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturdevi said.
