Yogeshwar tweeted: “बचपन से पहलवानी सीख कर ही बड़े मेडल मिलते है, वैसे #स्वच्छता भी आदत मे डालनी चाहिए। यह भी सिखने की तरह निरंतर प्रक्रिया है। #SwachhataHiSeva (Learning wrestling from early age results in great medals. Somewhat similar, cleanliness should also be a part of one’s routine. This is also a constant process.)”
