New Delhi: In an apparent dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal praised Manmohan Singh on Thursday and said people are missing an educated PM like him.
“People missing an educated PM like Dr Manmohan Singh Its dawning on people now - PM to padha likha hi hona chahiye (The PM must be well educated)," Kejriwal tweeted in the early hours of Thursday after posting a news article about how the falling value of the Rupee would have an impact on investments.
Kejriwal has accused PM Modi of having a fake college degree.
However, Kejriwal’s praise for the two-term Prime Minister was an aberration. In the past, he has referred to Singh as ‘Dhritrashtra’, a character from the Mahabharata who was infamous for turning a blind eye to the misdeeds of his clan. In October 2013, he had tweeted, “A corrupt Congress made Manmohan Singh its face at Centre. Manmohan failed to check corruption within congress and his own Govt."
During the 2015 Delhi Assembly campaign, he had referred to his rival Kiran Bedi as the ‘Manmohan Singh of BJP."
