AAP mocks PM Modi’s ‘Angry Uncles’ remark

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday for his "Angry Uncles" remark, asserting that the Prime Minister had written the tweet after self-reflection. AAP shared Modi's tweet on X, stating that the Prime Minister had penned it after looking at himself in the mirror. This reaction followed Modi's remarks at the centenary celebrations of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) on Saturday, where he disparaged critics of the government's initiatives, labeling them as "Angry Uncles" who oppose every new project.

At SRCC, Modi addressed students and described two types of individuals: those who positively transform society's power into national strength and the "Angry Uncles" who oppose any work with the sole question, "What is the need for this?" Modi cited examples such as the Statue of Unity, high-speed trains, UPI, semiconductor manufacturing, and the new Parliament building, emphasizing that opposition questioned the necessity of each initiative.

He added that India had successfully countered all such critics, asserting that no force could halt India's progress.
