"Parties and leaders supporting Congress are levelling unfounded allegations about the Prime Minister's educational qualification to provide relief to it. It is quite a coincidence that when a serious debate is on over the AgustaWestland case, they are doing so to deflect attention," Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
He termed the charges as "a complete lie" and said "the post of the Prime Minister has certain dignity. Modi is a popularly elected leader. It is painful to see a chief minister frequently levelling unfounded and petty charges (against him). Arvind Kejriwal is lowering the dignity of the chief minister's post".
