RSS leader Sadhvi Prachi posted the video to Twitter with the hashtag #BandrishtiIAS. In the video, Divyakriti is heard comparing Sita to ghee that has been tainted by a dog. Coach Divyakirti was overheard paraphrasing a Sanskrit author as stating,

I (Ram) did not fight this war for you (Sita) but for the respect of my lineage. As ghee licked by a dog is not fit for eating, you Sita, are not fit for me.

The footage seems to have been taken in a coaching classroom as many students are heard laughing after the statement was made. The message has drawn harsh condemnation from a number of sources, with some even calling for the coaching facility to be shut down for hurting Hindu feelings.
