New Delhi – Rajiv Gandhi was a pilot in an aviation establishment. He failed twice while he was studying at the Cambridge University. It is not very difficult to clear the Cambridge University examination. As the University tries to pass all those who attend courses at the University.

The students are required to have good behaviour at the University. And yet Rajiv Gandhi failed. Not only this Rajiv Gandhi failed at London’s Imperial College too. How can such a person be the country’s Prime Minister ? – wondered Congress Leader Mani Shankar Aiyar in an interview. BJP leader Amit Malviya has put a video of this interview on the social media.

Editorial Perspective

How come Aiyar is asking this question after 40 years ? Did he not know this earlier or he did not have the courage to speak ?
