Will show my scholarship letter if PM Modi shows his degree: Abhijeet Dipke amid US education row
A Surat-based RTI activist had sought a probe into the finances of Dipke’s father, a retired government employee who sent his son abroad for education.
Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has stated he is prepared to present his scholarship and loan documents for his US education if Prime Minister Narendra Modi releases his degree records. Dipke, a post-graduate in public relations from Boston University, is currently residing in Surat, India.
Dipke's financial assistance for his US education came from a scholarship at Boston University and an education loan, which he is required to repay. He has expressed willingness to disclose his scholarship and loan letters, along with his degree, if Modi does the same.
The CJP founder's comments come in response to activists and political opponents demanding official verification and public inspection of university registries to verify the authenticity of Modi's educational credentials. Dipke emphasized that he is ready to show his documents, but he warned that if Modi is sending the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate, he too would be open to an investigation at his home.
When asked about the possibility of the CJP entering the political sphere, Dipke stated that the party currently has no such intentions.
