Yoga guru Baba Ramdev said no single political party, opposition group or individual can transform the entire nation's system. Speaking in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, he stressed that systemic change requires collective awareness at social, political and administrative levels. He said the government has a significant responsibility to improve education and healthcare. The New Indian Express reports that Ramdev said neither religious communities nor specific castes are under threat, but the real challenges face the nation's children and youth. India Today reports he opposed using children in protests, saying there should be no anarchy in the name of protest. He added that movements to protect the Constitution must be rooted in democratic and human values. Ramdev also called for prioritising economic development over religious disputes. He said India should aim for parity between the rupee and the US dollar and equal global respect alongside superpowers. He expressed optimism that India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan would one day stand unified in peace.
