Yoga Guru Wants Government To End Voting Rights For Those Who Have More Than 2 Children

Yoga guru and co-founder of Patanjali Ayurved, Baba Ramdev, has said that those who have more than 2 children should be denied voting rights. He added that bachelors like himself should be honoured by the government.

"In this country, bachelors like me should be honoured. Those who are married and have more than two children, they should not have voting rights," he said.

The yoga guru had earlier reiterated that bachelorhood paved the way for success in his career. “People work for their family. Na biwi na bacche phir bhi dekho kitne acche (There is no wife, no children, and see how comfortable we still are),” he had then said. He acknowledged that being a family, life isn’t easy.

“I don’t go around with the baggage (of having the family). I have created brands... If I had children, they would have staked a claim for Patanjali. (I would have told them) this Patanjali is not your father’s property, it belongs to the country,” PTI quoted him as saying.
