Mr Chaudhary, 45, a BJP lawmaker, was at a government school in Deesa. In front of a classroom of children, the minister wrote "E-L-E-P-H-E-N-T" on a blackboard.
Mr Chaudhary later claimed that this was a teaching tactic, that he was testing the students and wanted to see if anyone could spot the error.

He said that he was trying to explain to students how certain words are spelt and pronounced differently. Mr Chaudhary has previously been taken to court by an activist who alleges that his MBA degree is fake.

There should be two 'l's in 'spellt' as the 't' suffix makes it an alternative form to 'spelled'. 'Spelt' with one 'l' is a type of wheat. But then, why would a newspaper editor spot that? It's not like it's related to their profession, is it :-D
Not true, Tapejara. There are two definitions for spelt and one of them is for the past tense of spell. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/spelt
I so wanted to write 'I see what you did there' relating to the way you spelled spelt. But instead I learned a new way to spell it.
