A Call for Self-Reflection
Prior to this incident, Pappu Yadav had been vocal about the need for individuals to confront and eliminate the “Ravana” within themselves. He pointed out that many leaders who come to symbolically slay Ravana often exhibit similar negative traits and should work on ridding themselves of their vices. He stressed the importance of moral conduct, calling for the return of ideals represented by figures like Ram and Krishna, and suggested that about 90% of people should strive to improve their behavior. According to Yadav, if individuals can defeat their inner Ravana, it will lead to a healthier society.
