Ramdev triggers another controversy, says women look good even if they dont wear anything
Mumbai: Yoga Guru Ramdev on Saturday landed in a controversy when during an event he said that women look good even if they don’t wear anything. The remarks drew criticism from political, social circles with many calling on Ramdev to apologize to women.
The event was also added by Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis. Several social media users also slammed her for not objecting to Ramdev’s remarks during the event.
Addressing a Yoga training program in Maharashtra’s Thane on Friday, he purportedly said, “Women look good in saris, they look great in salwar suits, and in my view, they look good even if they don’t wear anything like me."
Thane’s Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, son of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with other prominent personalities were also present on the occasion.
Taking a serious note of Ramdev’s controversial statement, the Maharashtra State Women Commission’s chairperson Rupali Chakankar on Saturday served a notice to the latter asking him to clarify his stand in three days.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut slammed Ramdev for the comment and asked why Amruta did not raise a protest when the remark was made. “The government remains silent when the Governor makes an insulting remark on Shivaji, when Karnataka chief minister threatens to take Maharashtra villages to Karnataka and now when BJP campaigner Ramdev insults women. Has the government kept its tongue in mortgage to Delhi?" Sanjay Raut said speaking to the media," said Raut.

Accept Congress decision appointing V D Satheesan as Kerala CM: K C Venugopal
Thiruvananthapuram/New Delhi (PTI): Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal on Thursday accepted the party decision to select V D Satheesan as the chief minister of Kerala and congratulated him.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Venugopal, who was one of the three persons being considered for the post, said he will provide all support to the CM and the UDF government in Kerala.
The decision comes more than 10 days after the results of the April Assembly polls in Kerala were declared.
The Congress-led UDF secured a more than two-thirds majority in the Kerala Assembly elections, but the party has been unable to decide its chief ministerial face due to lobbying by different camps and protests by workers at the ground level.
Besides, Satheesan and Venugopal, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala was also in the race for the CM post.
