A Delhi court, on Saturday, has reignited the dying embers of Smriti Irani's fake degree row by asking the Election Commission and the Delhi University to provide her educational records.
After more than a year-long lull in the controversy, her mysterious education qualifications have come back to haunt her, with reactions pouring across social media making the hashtag #SmritiMadamDegreeDikhao trend.
Are Smriti's "achche din" numbered? Check out some reactions from the tweeple.
