The people of Uttarakhand were left surprised and shocked recently as BJP sacked the chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and appointed Tirath Singh Rawat as the new chief minister just few days before the former was going to complete four years as the chief minister. One thing that state BJP unit would have liked to stay away from at this moment is controversy but the new Uttarakhand CM has attracted a controversy by making derogatory comments on those women who wear ripped jeans.

While attending an event, when Tirath Singh Rawat was addressing people he talked about a woman who was wearing gum boots, ripped jeans and her knees were visible. As per his statement, the woman was with kids and was going to Delhi and ran an NGO. Rawat said that what type of message these women will give in society and what ethics they will teach to their children.

After this statement, there was uproar among the Indian women and many people started condemning Rawat’s statement on the social media networks as well.

However, this once again brought back the memories of the times of 2018 when Baba Ramdev of Patanjali group launched his company in the clothing segment under the name of Paridhan and he also talked about the ripped jeans available in his store but in that they have ensured that it has bharatiyata (Indian ethics). The interviewer who was interviewing Baba Ramdev was also left confused as to how bharatiyata can be ensured in ripped jeans and how much ripped is fine in the eyes of people. At that time, people made fun of the jeans and called it sanskari jeans.

Here is the video of Baba Ramdev’s interview:

The micro-blogging site, Twitter was also flooded with angry reactions and many women wore ripped jeans and posted their photos as #RippedJeansTwitter trended on Twitter.

Here are some reactions:

Ripped Jeans aur Kitab.
The country’s ‘sanskriti’ & ‘sanskaar’ are impacted by men who sit and judge women and their choices. Soch badlo Mukhyamantri Rawat ji, tabhi desh badlega. #RippedJeansTwitter pic.twitter.com/qYXcN88fY6
