Mangaluru, Feb 28: The general meeting of Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) here on Wednesday February 28 witnessed uproar after the opposition BJP demanded clarification from mayor Kavita Sanil regarding her educational qualifications.

Showing a copy of the affidavit which was submitted by Kavita Sanil at the time of her appointment as mayor, opposition leader Ganesh Hosabettu said that in the affidavit, the mayor had mentioned her qualification as PUC-passed through correspondence. "But in many press meets, the mayor has claimed that she is a graduate. Hence people are doubtful about the mayor's educational qualification and they want clarification," he said.

When the BJP's attack escalated, the entire group of Congress corporators came to the mayor's rescue and argued that it was a personal matter that should not be discussed in the council. Some of the Congress corporators alleged that the opposition for the past one year was only interested in the mayor's personal issues and not in the development of Mangaluru or issues related to citizen welfare.

The mayor finally responded, "I have all the documents pertaining to my education. I am ready to show them, but the council is a place to discuss the issues of the people and the city, and not my personal matters."

Satisfied with the mayor's response, the opposition withdrew the issue and cooperated in the further proceedings.

In her thanksgiving speech, the mayor, who is on the verge of the end of her term, said, "During my tenure, the President of India, the Prime Minister, the governor and the chief miniter of the state visited the city, and all of them appreciated me. I am thankful to our district in-charge minister Ramanath Rai for his support and guidance. The role of the corporators of my party and the opposition helped me realize my dreams for the city's development. They guided me in administration. The media acted as a bridge between me and the people. Before becoming the mayor, I had engaged in social service, so after the end of my tenure also I will continue actively in carrying out social work. I love to serve the people."

    Education and qualification are two different things. The Mayor is qualified to hold the position and she has proved it. We have learned a lot from her way of administration. So, if she can teach us means why we need to concerned about her education. Some Colleges are like a degree printing press now-a-days.

    What good it will make by electing a brain-dead Ph.D for a Mayor seat?
    This Mayor is a gutsy and courageous woman who present herself well in public in an admirable way. She gives hope and confidence to young girls that some day they can also be a good and able administrators.

    All the best Madam Mayor !!!

    A former professor of Gujarat University has claimed there are several discrepancies in PM Modi’s Masters in Arts degree from the varsity. In a Facebook post, Jayanti Patel, who was a political science professor, said the subjects mentioned in the degree were not part of the university’s syllabus when Modi was studying there.
    There are five anomalies that give credence to the charge that the PM's degrees may be fake:
    1. Multiple entries of date of birth
    2. Different name and year of attendance
    3. Suspicious name of the course
    4. Where are PM Modi's classmates?
    5. Why is his alma mater hiding information?
    For any institute, it is a matter of pride to share that famous personalities have been affiliated with them. This helps the institute gain publicity and improve their image, and thereby help attract better students to strengthen the institution's present and future. This is why Punjab university never grows tired of flaunting its association with former PM Manmohan.
    Not only does PU publicise that Manmohan was a gold medalist from PU, it also created a chair in Manmohan Singh's name and now has enlisted him in professorial capacity. So it's surprising that both the institutes where Modi claims to have done his higher studies have been so coy about their association with the PM. Their suspicious secrecy around the whole issue seems to have been at Modi's behest as if they fear to reveal anything that may contradict their boss claim.
    If the PM can cheat and trick when it comes to his degree, can we guarantee that he won't cheat or commit fraud in other matters? The trust and credibility of the most important public office of the world's largest democracy is sacrosanct.
    The fourth pillar of democracy Indian media deserves to do its job of scrutinising the matter with more vigour and courage than it has displayed so far. Its silence makes one fear that the worst may be true.
    It's said Caeser's wife should be above suspicion, but here Caesar himself is under suspicion.

    Kavitha Sanil got unlucky due to the de-monetisation. She could not make money as expected since there was no black money around. Top builders could not pay in cash. Or else a big complex beside her house in her husbands name would have been the result of her good and clean regime. Hence the only notable performance we saw was , a fight and court case with the Rs 800 per month wage earning watch man and her pic in Karate Clothes punching the CM.

    English is not mandatory for leadership,, There are many leaders who dont speak english. So that does not matter, as long as you deliver. The majority of the Indians have accepted this so called 'Feku' .

    His party booted out the Cong in 2014 and reduced this Barmaids party to 44. Moreover it is winning state after state. which clearly shows that people are okay with him. On the contrary the 50 year old Yuva Neta , Rahul Vinci Khan who campaigns with a fake name 'rahul Gandhi' has his party ousted from every state.

    Role of a Party President is limited to manage the party members, not to render public service. Irrespective of her qualification, she is an elected MP which is why she is in the Parliament. What do you have to say about a BJP minister who said to have a Degree from Yale ? That too when she was appointed as Education Minister ? An Education Department Minister with a fake certificate ? BJP could not find a genuine certificate holder to head the Education Dept. of the nation ?

    Besides, why the PMO withdrew information about educational background of the PM ? What reason ? Are his credentials too fake ?

    It was clearly evident from her hunger for media attention, will all those pics on social media. A typical college girl temperament. Had she been to college she would not have done this. Its better to have elections for the Mayors post , rather than back door entry.

    NO WHY?
    their education is enough for central post but this mayors educations is not enough for them.
    Dirty thughs.
    why we the people of both districts are not improving because of this only.
    we have many scanners.

    First is religious & language scanner
    if religious scanner OK means we have caste scanner.
    But how our neighobouring state is united on their language.

    why BJP cannot bag single seat in that state because their dirty politics is not possibel in that state because they are united under their language not under religion or caste.
    Big thing is They are educated & intelligent (literate)
