Brijbhoushan Sharan Singh launches a scathing attack on Ramdev, saying he began under the “Swadeshi” banner and is now selling counterfeit laddus.

New Delhi. Former Bharatiya Janata Party MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh has delivered a sharp critique of yoga guru and Patanjali group associate Ramdev. In a statement, Brijbhushan Sharan Singh targeted Ramdev, questioning his business expansion and claims of “Swadeshi.” Following his remarks, discussions have intensified in political and public circles.

Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, while commenting on Ramdev, said that he had once emerged under the banner of “Swadeshi,” but now his business has expanded into various products. He sarcastically remarked that Ramdev “started with the name Swadeshi and began selling counterfeit chaddis.” This statement is being viewed as a direct attack on Ramdev and the policies of his business group.

He also leveled serious accusations regarding fake ghee. Brijbhushan Sharan Singh claimed that Ramdev had introduced a “culture of fake ghee” in the country. However, this is a political allegation, and reaching any conclusion would require official investigation or verified facts.

Brijbhushan Sharan Singh also mocked Ramdev's past movements and modes of public protest. He said that Ramdev should not “protest wearing sindoor, tikuli, and salwar” this time. His remark is being interpreted in the context of the attire adopted during Ramdev's earlier movements and performances.

Following the release of the statement, responses have begun to surface on social media and political corridors. While supporters view it as a political rebuttal to Ramdev's business activities and public statements, Ramdev's supporters may regard it as a personal comment and political sarcasm.

Ramdev has long been a prominent figure across the country due to his promotion of yoga, Ayurveda, and Swadeshi products. Under his leadership, the Patanjali group has built a substantial business in food items, Ayurvedic products, personal care, and other consumer goods. Consequently, his products and business claims have periodically sparked public debate.

Brijbhushan Sharan Singh's latest statement surfaced at a time when political debate over Ramdev and related issues continues unabated. Nonetheless, independent verification of many allegations and claims used in Brijbhushan's remarks is necessary.

For now, this statement has once again fueled debate over Ramdev's working style, Swadeshi campaign, and his business model. Attention is now focused on whether Ramdev or the Patanjali group will issue an official response to Brijbhushan Sharan Singh's comments.
