'Sarvgyaani' PM unaware of UP's woes, says cryptic Priyanka

Gonda (UP): Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi describing him as "all-knowing" who reaches out to the US and Russian leaders when they are ill but is unaware of the woes of the people of Uttar Pradesh.

At an election rally in Gonda, she also targeted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the stray animal menace, accusing him of taking note of the issue when election approaches. Gandhi also accused the Bahujan Samaj Party and Samajwadi Party of dividing people on the lines of caste and religion. Scoffing at the prime minister, she described him as 'antaryami' and 'sarvagyani' which mean omniscient. "Stray animals are ruining your farms and they seem to be unaware of it. Modi ji is 'antaryaami and sarvgyaani'... But he was unaware that farmers in the biggest State of our country are suffering and dying because stray animals are destroying their crops," Priyanka Gandhi said derisively.

The Congress leader said, "Modi Ji gets to know when the Prime Minister of Russia catches some disease and when Donald Trump in America coughs. He quickly writes letters to them and calls them on phone. "But Modi Ji, who has government in Centre and in Uttar Pradesh, was unaware of this (farmers' problems). Now when the elections are here, the Prime Minister has taken note of it and announced a solution, Priyanka Gandhi said sarcastically and asked where was he during the last five years.
