Yoga guru Ramdev in a video was seen lashing out at a reporter when asked about his comment a few years ago about petrol price coming down to Rs 40 if the government changed in 2014. The reporter questioned Ramdev about his assurance that petrol and LPG costs would come down if people voted the incumbent (Congress) out of power.

The yoga guru, in a 2014 television interview, had said: \u201cI have a study with me that says the basic price of petrol is only Rs 35, on which 50% tax is levied.\u201d \u201cAgar 50% ke jagah 1% tax ho jayga to<\/em> it\u2019s only practical. Itna arthshastra to humne bhi pad rakkha hai<\/em>. [If taxes are reduced from 50% to 1%, (fuel price is bound to come down). I have studied this much economics,\u201d he had said in the interview.
The Patanjali Ayurved co-founder goes on to say that major economists do not run the economy of the nation. \u201cThey are slaves to the Washington Consensus [a set of economic policy recommendations for developing countries], Sensex, and FDI,\u201d he had said.

In the latest video that\u2019s going viral, Ramdev is seen telling off the reporter for asking him the question. \u201cDon\u2019t ask such questions. Am I a thekedar<\/em> that I have to answer whatever you ask? I gave that statement and now I don\u2019t. Do what you can.\u201d
Ramdev goes on to tell the reporter that it wouldn\u2019t be good for him if he asked such questions again.
The controversy comes amid a steep rise in fuel prices over the last 10 days<\/a>.
