Uddhav Thackeray also attacked the BJP, his former ally, over allegations that he stitched an alliance with the ideologically different Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party just for becoming chief minister
Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has taken a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the college degree row, a day after the Gujarat High Court fined Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Rs 25,000 for asking details of PM Modi's degrees.
"There are many young people with degrees but without jobs... When PM is asked to show his degree, the fine is Rs 25,000. What is this college which doesn't come out to feel proud of the fact that their college is where the Prime Minister studied?" said Mr Thackeray, who heads the "Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray" faction of the Sena.
The high court had told Mr Kejriwal that the information he sought was not relevant to the Prime Minister's role. It said details of PM Modi's educational qualifications are already in the public domain.
Mr Thackeray also attacked the BJP, his former ally, over allegations that he stitched an alliance with the ideologically different Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party just for becoming chief minister.
