New Delhi: Yoga Guru and Businessman Baba Ramdev on Wednesday snapped at a media reporter who asked him about his statements during the UPA government on the issue of hikes in Petrol and LPG prices.

In a video that is doing rounds on social media site Twitter, the reporter can be heard pointing to Ramdev his statement and media bytes that he gave during the UPA government regime.

“You asked people whether they want a government that will bring down petrol prices to 40 and LPG prices to Rs. 300 or if they want a government that is selling petrol at 75. What do you have to say now?” the reporter asked Ramdev.

Irked by the question, Ramdev tried to dodge the reporter and moved on to another question from a different reporter. When the reporter continued asking the same question Ramdev lost his cool and snapped at the reporter.

“Yes I gave byte then, I won’t give any byte about it now. What will you do? Will you tear my tail for that? He asked the reporter.

When the reporter did not stop, Ramdev said “Chup Ho Ja, Aage Se Puchega Toh Theek Nai Hoga” (Shut up, if you ask again, it won’t be good for you)
