People missing 'educated PM' like Manmohan, says Arvind Kejriwal


New Delhi, May 31 (PTI): Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said people were missing an "educated prime minister" like Manmohan Singh.

The former prime minister was the target of Kejriwal's anti-graft campaign during the 2013 Delhi Assembly polls and the Lok Sabha polls the following year.

"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 Delhiities war. 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.

    Its nice to hear that arch rivals are now appreciating the great PM of India Dr Manmohan Singh who is the architect of reforms in India and ensured nearly 9% GDP growth during his tenure in a year. The economic meltdown in the USA failed to impact a resilient India forcing the then US President to appreciate PM Manmohan for his excellent economy management. Its time India pools some money and send our present PM to some good economics institute to learn basics of economic management.

    Dear Amit,
    What you said is true, but it's better to realize his mistake and rectify the same. It's not too late also.
    Humans make mistake but wise realize and rectify the same.
    Good sense at last prevailed over him for he has realized now, how it was earlier and how it is now!

    We seriously have a problem if we compare past and present and vote for future....
    Please compare 2 leaders who are future P.M candidates and select..

    If education is your criteria then compare rahul gandhi and Modi...if you feel gandhi is better vote him...

    We have economist MP who once said that if BJP comes to power, Re 1 will be equal to US$ 15 and people got mad and voted for him. Now we all know what is the use of electing these bunch of jokers.

    Kejriwal is 100% right! We need really an educated, upright, intellectual statesman at the helm of affairs. Only speeches, slogans, drama, impression creating - although good - is hardly useful for economy, economic growth. We need PMs qualified for the job, and just anybody and everybody.

    In my opinion, education lost its importance against religion, jumlas and fekusism. We live in a world where uneducated make fun of educated.

    If everything runs by just bhashans, we would not have seen importance of education in this world. It is difficult for an illiterate to know the importance of education.

    Very correct.
    Working with a highly educated P.M., world renown economist was a great experience. There were less chaos. World community had a high image for us. Our people had great respect.
    Whereas working with uneducated persons is a great pain.
    We do not realize where are we heading! Our future looks very uncertain and chaos spread across everywhere!
