But, well, no one asks these questions because he has a big company,” said Sanjay Raina, a 48-year-old who runs Savdhaan Karnala – a social media news portal in Haryana’s Karnal.
Two days ago, a clip of Ramdev snapping at Raina, over a question on rising fuel prices, had gone viral. The Patanjali founder was speaking at the Mission Public School in Karnal, where he was invited to meet the chairman who is reportedly his fan. It wasn’t a formal event, but many had gathered to see Ramdev – around 200 staffers from the school’s four branches were also reportedly present.
