The opposition doesn't disappoint. Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturdevi on Union minister Smriti Irani's affidavit submitted to the Election Commission that she did not complete her graduation from Delhi University. Smriti Irani is the BJP candidate from the Amethi Lok Sabha seat.

Before her entry to politics, Irani was best known for the Balaji Telefilms soap, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

Using the signature lines of the serial, Chaturvedi said, "A new serial is going to come, 'Kyunki Mantri Bhi Kabhi Graduate Thi'; Its opening line will be 'Qualifications ke bhi roop badalte hain, naye-naye sanche mein dhalte hain, ek degree aati hai, ek degree jaati hai, bante affidavit naye hain.

"Smriti Irani ji ne apne educational qualifications ko lekar ek cheez kaayam ki hai ki kis tareeke se graduate se 12th class ke ho jaate hain, wo Modi sarkar se hi aur Modi sarkar mein hi mumkin hai."

Irani, in her affidavit for 2014 polls, she had reportedly said she graduated from the university in 1994, triggering a row over the veracity of her claim, with opposition parties alleging she was not a graduate.
