Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, faces a warrant in Assam for not showing up in court yesterday in a slander case over his tweet on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s degree a year ago.

The warrant, which is bailable, has been issued at once Mr Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are submerged in their battle for the April 23 Municipal Corporation of Delhi or MCD surveys.

Mr Kejriwal had alluded to the municipal surveys while asking for the court in Diphu to reason him and give him more opportunity to show up. His legal counselor said he “can’t leave Delhi to go to the court hearing as a result of the urban decision and the way of his work since he is Chief Minister of Delhi”.

The judge dismisses the demand, taking note of that Mr Kejriwal had neglected to show up once before on January 30, and issued a warrant of Rs. 10,000.

The criminal criticism case was documented by Assam BJP pioneer Surya Rongphar after Mr Kejriwal affirmed in a tweet in December that the Prime Minister had concentrated just till Class 12 and his professional education was fake. The remark was “unjustifiable and deluding”, said Mr Rongphar.

The court will take up the case next on May 8.

Mr Kejriwal and his gathering have over and again scrutinized the credibility of PM Modi’s Delhi University degree. The college’s enlistment center said a year ago that the Prime Minister’s degree was credible and he “cleared the examination in 1978 and was granted the degree in 1979.”

Prior this year, the Central Information Commission dismisses the college’s complaint to giving subtle elements looked for by a RTI campaigner who is an AAP supporter.
