During an event on Saturday, Smriti Irani gave way to controversy when she piped, "In that kitty of mine where people call me 'anpadh' (illiterate) I do have a degree from Yale University as well which I can bring out and show how Yale celebrated my leadership capacities."

An official spokesperson of her ministry clarified on Monday night that Irani got a "certificate" for her participation in a Yale University program.

The 38-year-old was among 11 MPs who participated in a six-day leadership programme at the Yale campus in New Haven, Connecticut, in June last year. The course was introduced eight years ago, and more than 80 MPs from India have participated since.

A clarification has given Irani no respite from the twitter storm after she described her certificate as a "degree".
