Judge me by my work: Smriti Irani

Irani is at the centre of a raging controversy over her educational qualification after it emerged that she had made contradictory declarations when she contested Lok Sabha elections in 2004 and in 2014.

Madhu Kishwar, a women's rights activist, raked up a controversy over the fact that Irani, just a school graduate, has been made HRD Minister. The issue then snowballed.

Congress leader Ajay Maken had also taken a jibe at Irani's educational qualification.

"What a Cabinet of Modi? HRD Minister (looking after education) Smriti Irani is not even a graduate! Look at her affidavit at ECI site pg 11," he had tweeted.
