He said, "Rahul used to go to the dalit households to experience honeymoon. And if he had married a dalit ki beti (dalit girl), then by now, who knows, he might have become the Prime Minister of India. I wonder why he is not marrying a dalit girl."
Speaking to reporters in Lucknow, Ramdev said, "Rahul's tryst with bad luck has just started. He is not inclined to get married to a desi (an Indian) and he and his mother know that the Congress vice-president will not become the Prime Minister if he marries a foreigner."
He said unlike Rahul, Narendra Modi and Ramdev have not become “fakir” (single) under compulsion.
Further making highly improper and derogatory comments on the Gandhi scion, he said “Us bechare ki bhi kismat kharab hai (Rahul is unlucky)”, Ramdev said.
The yoga guru also attacked Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra for allegedly amassing huge wealth in a very short span of time.
Ramdev did not spare Congress president either and said, "Initially I had thought of going to Rae Bareli to campaign against her. But after seeing her ill-health, I decided to pardon her, and now, I would be focusing only on Amethi."
"And, let me tell you, after the election both Maiyaa (Sonia) and Bhaiyaa (Rahul) would disappear and fade into oblivion. In fact, this election would prove to be the final nail in the coffin of the Congress which has ruined the nation."
Commenting on Sonia's recent statement delivered at an election rally in Gujarat, where she had said that the Congress is responsible for today's India, Ramdev, said, "Yes, indeed. Congress alone is responsible for all the negativity which has creeped into the nation and among its citizens.
“His (Rahul's) mother says that if you marry a foreigner girl, then you cannot become the prime minister and this boy does not want to marry an Indian girl. His mother wants that first he becomes the prime minister and then marry a foreigner”, he added.
Later, in a damage-control exercise, Ramdev claimed he did not make the remarks in a negative sense and was willing to withdraw them if they have hurt the Dalit sentiments.
Earlier refuting Congress's allegations that he was campaigning for BJP in his yoga camps, Ramdev claimed his camps were “apolitical”.
“My yoga camps are apolitical... We do not appeal for votes in these camps... Airing views through the media is my constitutional right,” Ramdev told reporters here. Ramdev said he would go to Amethi on April 30 and claimed Rahul Gandhi would not be able to win Lok Sabha elections from there this time.
“Rahul will not win elections. It's 100 per cent certain... This time, BJP's Smriti Irani will win from Amethi. Kumar Vishwas (of AAP) has sowed the seeds against Rahul there (in Amethi) and Irani will get its benefit,” he claimed.
