his is what Diggy Raja had said:

“Gandhivadi hain, saral hain, imandar hain, sabke paas jaati hain, gaon gaon jaati hain, rajneetigyon ko thodi si baat me pata chal jaata hai ki kaun farzi hai, kaun sahi hai, main purana jauhari hun, ye 100 tunch maal hai (She believes in Gandhi philosophy. She is simple and honest. She meets everybody and visits villages. Politicians have the ability to know who is genuine and who is fake. I am an old jeweller. She is 100% pure item).”

The problem is with the words "tunch (tanch?) maal". It can mean "pure product" or "genuine stuff". It can also mean a sexy or attractive woman. What meaning Diggy had in mind is clear if we read his statement in entirety. It seems that the distortion of Diggy's words by a section of the media is another example of the malaise of paid news which is unfortunately affecting large sections of the media today; alternatively, it reflects a perverse, dirty mindset of a section of the media.
