Disagreeing with the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) ‘Degree Dikhao’ campaign, Rashtriya Janta Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Chaudhary called it ‘elitist,’ adding that it does not befit a party that is governing two important states.
“I have an MSC degree, my father was an #IITian & my grandfather wrote economic treatise on sustainable & equitable development. But I feel this particular political campaign focused on education qualification is elitist & does not befit a party in power in 2 important states!” he tweeted on Sunday.
On April 4, too, Jayant Chaudhary had said ‘raising a fuss on educational qualifications of leader is elitist.’
“Until universal literacy is achieved, cannot bar anyone from aspiring to a position as a public representative,” the RLD chief had said in his tweet.
