'Don't trust 'Gyani Uncle' Modi's bakwas'
The Free Press Journal|April 28, 2024
In her debut public address in Valsad, Gujarat, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi had the crowd engrossed, referring to the Prime Minister as Gyani Uncle’ who spread disinformation and disregarded the wellbeing of ordinary citizens.

Priyanka Gandhi's address was direct and unapologetic as she referred to Modi as Gyani Uncle’, drawing a comparison to an authoritative figure imparting wisdom at a wedding ceremony. She questioned the validity of Modi's statements, specifically his contentious comments regarding Congress’ alleged plans to confiscate gold from households using x-ray machines. The Gyaani Uncle is in a position of authority and yet he is spouting bakwas' nonsense)," Gandhi remarked, raising doubts about the practicality and ethics of such assertions.

The Gyaani Uncle is in a position of authority, yet his words are far from meaningful. His Modi's) statements are filled with absurdity, as if he expects people to blindly accept them as undeniable truth. We have been in power for 55 years. Can any government actually enforce a scheme where an x-ray machine scans the amount of jewellery in your house and forcibly takes it away from you? Is it possible?" she asked rhetorically.
