Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Smriti Irani after DUSU president Ankiv Baisoya resigned from his post over fake degree row.

"Fake degree is in BJP's DNA," tweeted Rahul Gandhi with a collage consisting images of Narendra Modi, Smriti Irani and Ankiv Baisoya.

"The 56 inch and their ministers have shown to the students that in BJP, the door to ministry opens after showing a fake degree. Attack on educational institutions and bringing people with fake degree to power is RSS' old theory. Therefore, RSS is doing 'Farcical strike' on DU (श्री छप्पन और उनके मंत्रियों ने छात्रों को  दिखाया है कि भाजपा में मंत्रीमंडल का शीघ्र द्वार फ़र्ज़ी डिग्री दिखा कर खुलता है| शैक्षिक संस्थानों पर प्रहार और फ़र्ज़ी डिग्री वालों को सत्ता पर बिठाना RSS का पुराना सिद्धांत है| इसीलिए DU पर RSS का फ़र्जिकल स्ट्राइक जारी है), said Rahul in a tweet.

On Thursday, the ABVP said that Ankiv Baisoya has resigned from his post after it asked him to do so, and has also been suspended from the students outfit till an inquiry into allegations that he gained admission to the Delhi University on the basis of a fake degree.

While the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) said the decision was taken to maintain the "genuineness" of the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU), the move drew criticism from the NSUI and AISA, which claimed it was done under pressure ahead of the high court hearing on November 20.

In a Facebook post, Baisoya said he was resigning form the post of DUSU president because he respects the mandate of Delhi University students, who voted for him.

The ABVP has alleged that the NSUI and other student organisations started raising questions on Baisoya's degree "the moment ABVP won three of four posts in the DUSU elections".

The Delhi High Court on Monday gave the university time till November 20 to verify the authenticity of Baisoya's bachelors degree from a university in Tamil Nadu. The two-month period, within which a re-election could be held, ended on November 13.

Baisoya was elected DUSU president in September.

The NSUI and AISA have accused the Delhi University administration of deliberately delaying an investigation of the alleged fake degree of Baisoya.
