Prime Minister Modi holds a postgraduate degree, but that is beside the point. The real issue is that some people, particularly Arvind Kejriwal, seem unable to reconcile themselves to the fact that a man from a humble background, with no dynastic privilege or elite pedigree, rose to occupy India’s highest elected office through hard work, political acumen, and immense public support.
India’s political history is full of examples that prove leadership is not determined by degrees alone. K. Kamaraj, with limited formal education, transformed Tamil Nadu and pioneered the expansion of the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, bringing millions of children into schools. His legacy continues to shape India even today.
On the other hand, many who proudly flaunt their educational credentials have little to show for them in public life. Arvind Kejriwal, who never tires of advertising his educational qualifications, left behind a government mired in corruption allegations and administrative failures, eventually losing both his own seat and his party’s grip on Delhi. Others who claim impressive academic pedigrees have spent decades in public life without producing outcomes remotely commensurate with the aura they seek to project around their degrees.
The question is not whether a Prime Minister is “educated.” The question is whether he can lead, deliver, inspire confidence, and improve the lives of millions. By that measure, the verdict belongs to the people, not to self-appointed gatekeepers of intelligence.
What makes Kejriwal’s remark particularly revealing is its underlying elitism. It reflects a belief that only those from certain backgrounds, institutions, or social circles are fit to lead. India has repeatedly rejected that mindset. Our democracy allows ordinary Indians to rise to extraordinary heights, and that is precisely what some among the entitled elite find difficult to accept.
Kejriwal built his political career promising a “new kind” of politics. What the country witnessed instead was a familiar cocktail of hypocrisy, opportunism, and broken promises. He misled supporters, betrayed allies, and squandered the moral capital with which he entered public life. If anything, his political journey is a reminder that degrees may certify education, but they are no guarantee of wisdom, integrity, or leadership.
What Mamata Banerjee couldn’t do in 15 years, Suvendu Adhikari and the BJP government have delivered in just 15 days.
🚇 RVNL has successfully completed the long-delayed girder launching work at the Chingrighata crossing section of Kolkata Metro’s Orange Line, ahead of schedule.
This 366-metre missing link is critical for completing the New Garia-Airport Metro corridor, which will connect Kolkata’s southern suburbs with the IT hub in Sector V.
Why was this project stalled for years?
Because the Mamata Banerjee government repeatedly denied permission for traffic diversion. RVNL had only sought night traffic blockades over two successive weekends to complete the work.
The moment the political obstruction ended, the work moved at speed.
For years, Bengal was told delays were “technical”. Turns out, the biggest technical problem was the TMC government itself.

Madam @MahuaMoitra
Before calling Amit Shah a Goonda let me enumerate to you this true incident.
Aditya Birla of the Aditya Birla Group in the 1990 was publicly assaulted and humiliated in Kolkata while commuting to his office in his car.
He was dragged out of his car between the GPO and RBI building right opposite the Writers’ Building in central Kolkata.
Goondas of the leftists communist party beat him up, tore his clothes and stripped him down to his undergarments, and then forced him to walk the remaining distance to his office at 15 India Exchange Place under jeering and ridicule.
Aditya Birla after returning to his office, immediately left for Mumbai by the next flight, never to return to Kolkata ever in his lifetime and within 15 days shifted most of his group's business operations out of West Bengal leading to the exodus of most of the Industrial houses and businesses from Bengal.
This is called Goondaism and Goonda Raj.
When a CM snatches files from the ED and takes them under her custody that is called Goondaism.
Don't confuse Goondaism with campaigning. Use your dog sense.
@chehriap@SupriyaShrinate Congress eyes were closed & supriyaji was on vacation at that time wen main highways were blocked due to congress driven protests. More people died than any terrorist attack since they cud not reach hospital.
