The
revelation in New Indian Express, Chennai

(http://expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=Truth+about+Rahul%E2%80%99s+MPhil&artid=hroBHG|ndtI=&Title=Truth+about+Rahul%E2%80%99s+MPhil&SectionID=vBlkz7JCFvA=&MainSectionID=vBlkz7JCFvA=&SEO=Rahul+Gandhi&SectionName=EL7znOtxBM3qzgMyXZKtxw==)

today of the false claim of Mr.Rahul
Gandhi made in his sworn affidavit that he holds a M Phil in Development
Economics from Trinity College, Cambridge University calls from an immediate
Notice for perjury to be sent to him by the Election
Commission. Otherwise, I shall move the Courts for action.

The
revelation confirms the disclosure I made after a visit to the Department of
Development Studies, University
of Cambridge in
2005.I was informed by the
Department’s library and revealed in its computer, that Mr.Gandhi did not
complete his M Phil degree because he had failed the National Economic Planning
and Policy exam and hence could not fulfil the mandatory requirement of writing
a M Phil thesis (much less defend it). Also, Trinity College
does not award M Phil degrees, and Development Studies Department has nothing
to do with the Economics Department.

Moreover,
according to University records Mr.Gandhi as Raul Vinci had given his
citizenship as “Italian citizen by birth since born to an Italian mother”, and
holds an Italian passport in that name.He
also paid his fees from a numbered account in a tax-haven bank.

Incidentally,
Mr.Gandhi had failed the first year B,A in St.Stephan’s College in Delhi because, as his sister had in Jesus and Mary College,
he failed the Hindi compulsory course exam.
