Amid claims by AAP that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degrees and marksheets had "glaring discrepancies", the Gujarat University today said he had "slightly changed" his name, dropping 'kumar' from it.

The University said Modi changed his name from "Narendrakumar Damodardas Modi," which he used in admission form for MA Part I, to "Narendra Damodardas Modi" in MA Part II but everything is "genuine".

Acting Vice Chancellor of Gujarat University, Mahesh Patel told PTI, "Since he (Modi) had taken admission in MA Part I in 1981 on the basis of his DU degree, he used the name Narendrakumar Damodardas Modi. But when filling MA Part II form, he dropped 'kumar' and wrote Narendra Damodardas Modi in the form.
