In the run up to the election, BJP’s candidate from Amethi and Union Minister for Textiles, Smriti Irani filed her nomination for the polls and in the election affidavit, she has revealed that she is not a graduate.

In the affidavit, Irani who had unsuccessfully contested against Congress president Rahul Gandhi, has revealed in the affidavit that she has passed secondary school examination in 1991 and the senior secondary school examination in 1993. Although, for her graduation degree, details were mentioned but it was clearly written that ‘the course is not completed.’
