Baba Ramdev's throws surprise demand for educational reforms, threatens to go on protest
Ramdev alleged that most of the times, interviews for government jobs are ‘fraudulent' as he alleged massive corruption.
Just after the Cockroach Janta Party raised concerns about inadequate school infrastructure and called for reforms through its "School Thik Karo" campaign, yoga guru Baba Ramdev echoed similar sentiments about the state of education and schools in the country on Saturday. Ramdev warned he would join a protest if his demands for educational reforms were not met, citing issues such as a lack of teachers, electricity, water, and toilets in smaller schools.
He also highlighted the scandal of paper leaks, which led to massive youth-led protests and the resignation of the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan. Ramdev criticized the interview process for government jobs, stating that it often involved recruitment based on personal connections and ideology. He emphasized the need for improvement, but warned against anarchy, stating that the country cannot function if protests turn violent.
Ramdev also targeted Gen Z, accusing some of engaging in violence, having multiple relationships, and using drugs and alcohol.
