Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi said on Friday that he had a problem with yoga guru Baba Ramdev's contention that he had a drug that guarantees the birth of a male child. He said he would not have had a problem had Ramdev said that he had a drug to produce children of any gender.Lauding the NDA Government's 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' campaign, Tyagi said, "I praise the Prime Minister's efforts, but on the other hand, this medicine by Baba Ramdev is called 'Putrajeevak Beej' and I have a problem with that."

"Had the medicine been called 'santaanjeevak beej' I would have had no problem," he added. On Thursday, there was uproar in the Rajya Sabha during Zero Hour over the medicine being marketed by Baba Ramdev's company.The opposition called the medicine 'illegal' and 'unconstitutional'. The Patanjali Yogapeeth and the Divya Yog Mandir had said in a statement that their medicine had nothing to do with sex determination.
