BJP Candidate's Education Predates Her Birth

The Hindu · india

The academic qualifications of BJP's Nandigram candidate Hasirani Rath appear to predate her birth year, according to her nomination affidavit. The Congress has filed a complaint with the Election Commission and moved the Calcutta High Court over the alleged discrepancies. The BJP dismissed the issue as a typographical error, stating Ms. Rath was a Class 10 student in 1980, not 1965 as indicated.
