People missing 'educated PM' like Manmohan, says Kejriwal

Once again, the Prime Minister’s education has become the subject of discussion for Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. On Wednesday, he said people were missing an “educated prime minister” like Manmohan Singh.

A far cry from the run-up to the Delhi Assembly election, where the AAP chief had said that should the BJP candidate Kiran Bedi become the CM of Delhi, she would be like that party’s Manmohan Singh, “without a voice”.

And who could forget his referring to the then PM as ‘Dhritarashtra’ in 2013, in the wake of the coal blocks allocation scam, because “the Prime Minister keeps signing and agreeing on files without speaking and seeing”.

But times have changed and dust has settled on those nasty pre-poll jibes, going by the note of adulation struck by Kejriwal’s tweet on Wednesday:

"People missing an educated PM like Dr Manmohan Singh- PM should be educated. Its dawning on people now that the PM should be educated," Kejriwal tweeted, posting a Wall Street Journal article on the falling rupee.

Kejriwal and members of his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have earlier, too, questioned Modi's academic credentials and the authenticity of his degree.

The chief minister also attacked the BJP for playing "dirty politics" over the water crisis in the national capital.

"BJP playing dirty politics with Delhiites’ water. Delhi was getting this water for 22 yrs. Suddenly, present BJP govt of Haryana drastically reduced this supply. Why? Pl don't make people suffer due to ur dirty politics," he said on Twitter.
