Let’s both show our degrees: CJP’s Dipke to PM Modi

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party, has challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to publicly disclose his educational degrees. Dipke argues that public officials should be transparent about their qualifications, especially after facing similar scrutiny himself.
Why it matters
The debate over the educational qualifications of political leaders remains a recurring point of contention in Indian political discourse.
Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Thursday (September 3, 2026) questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his educational qualifications, urging him to publicly disclose his degree.
He also questioned the Delhi High Court’s order refusing to disclose details of PM Modi’s Bachelor’s degree. “From what I’ve learned from the IT Cell over the last few days, anyone who doesn’t show their degree is apparently a fraud and a liar,” Mr. Dipke wrote in a post on X, taking a dig at the speculation over his educational qualifications before spearheading the NEET paper ‘leak’ protests.
People are really running out of patience waiting to see my degree. Makes me wonder how they've managed for 12 years without seeing the Prime Minister's. Sir @narendramodi , let's both show our degrees and put an end to this?
