Baba Ramdev on demonetisation: 'BJP has many bachelors'

The recent demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes that brought the nation to a standstill also clashed with the country's wedding season which has left many families in a cash crunch situation.

Yoga Guru, Baba Ramdev didn't miss an opportunity to express his take on the nation's current situation.

"Many in the BJP are bachelors...they didn't realise it was wedding season...that was the mistake," joked the Patanjali founder in an NDTV interview.

"If they had done this around 15 days or one month later then there weddings wouldn't have been so badly affected," he added.

Ramdev also spoke about how the demonetisation has become a problem for people demanding dowry.

"One good thing that has come out of all this...people cannot demand dowry," said the Guru.

The government on Thursday announced families who were preparing for weddings can make a one-time withdrawal of Rs 2.5 lakh after many requests.
