‘Delhi University trying to hide PM Modi’s degree?’: Abhijeet Dipke responds to trolls with another jab on PM’s degree
DU Trying to Hide Modi's Degree? Dipke Responds
Indiadailyupdate.com – The question of Delhi University trying to hide the Prime Minister's academic credentials resurfaced in an unexpected form this week. Cockroach Janta Party convenor Abhijeet Dipke, who has long made Modi's unverified BA certificate a recurring theme, found himself on the receiving end of scrutiny. Podcasters and online commentators began questioning whether Dipke himself had completed his programme at Boston University. Rather than deflect, Dipke turned the spotlight back on Delhi University trying to hide what he calls a simple fact: that Modi holds a degree from the institution.
A Video Rebuttal on X
In a short clip posted to X, Dipke spoke directly to the skeptics who had been probing his Boston University enrollment over the preceding days. He said he was prepared to lay out his degree certificate together with the paperwork tied to his scholarship and education loan.
"I want to tell such people, I am ready to show my degree. I have scholarship letters. But what happens to your 'paw paw'?"
The jab was aimed squarely at the Prime Minister. Dipke then floated a hypothetical: what would unfold if ordinary citizens began pressing Modi to produce his own certificate?
"If people of this country start asking 'paw paw' for his degree like you people are asking mine, what will happen? Where will he go?"
He pledged to display his certificate the following day while urging the public to direct the identical demand toward the Prime Minister.
"I will show my degree certificate tomorrow, but you should ask 'paw paw' to show his degree. I have all the documents."
Institutional Silence Versus Institutional Pride
In a follow-up tweet, Dipke drew a sharp contrast between how Boston University publicly celebrated him as an alumnus and how Delhi University trying to hide Modi's credentials had become the default institutional posture. Modi's BA degree from DU has fueled political disputes and courtroom battles since 2016, with multiple individuals demanding he produce the certificate.
"Boston University published an article about me for being their alumnus. Why doesn't DU proudly celebrate Modi as their alumnus? He is, after all, the Prime Minister of India."
"Shouldn't they be flexing about it instead of trying to hide his degree?"
Alongside the tweet, Dipke shared an interview that his university newspaper had published on June 8, tracing his emergence as the public face of the Cockroach Janta Party.
Earlier Pledges and Conditional Offers
This was not the first time Dipke had linked his own academic paperwork to Modi's. Earlier in the same month, he announced his readiness to release scholarship and education-loan sanction letters pertaining to his US studies, conditional on Modi making his degree public.
"I have received a scholarship from Boston University for my education. I also availed an education loan for my studies there. It has to be repaid. Everyone is free to investigate."
"I am ready to show my letters of scholarship and education loan along with my degree. PM Modi should show his degree and make it public. If he does so, I am ready to make my documents public."
