Ramdev to help Modi to become PM
PTI, HAMIRPUR | 15 July 2013 20:52 IST
Yoga Guru Ramdev said he would not contest the general elections scheduled next year but would help Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi become the next Prime Minister.
"I will not contest the Lok Sabha elections nor will I hold any top post," Ramdev, who was here to address the youth wing of his organisation, told reporters here.
"But I will help Narendra Modi become the next Prime Minister of the country," he said.
Ramdev criticised Congress and its leaders for "rampant corruption" in the country, and called party vice general secretary Rahul Gandhi an "innocent guy" with no clue about the country and its people.
"Congress is the den of corruption... Rahul Gandhi is an innocent guy who has no knowledge about India and its people."
He claimed that corruption had reached such a level that Indian officials were illegally brokering deals to allow FDI in the country and warned that unbridled flow of FDI in India would ruin the country's social and economic system.
Baba Ramdev spoilt the movement of Anna Hazare and the Civil Society pretending to be a part of the movement.
A coward, he had to run away wearing a sari.
It is clear now that he was an agent of BJP masquerading as apolitical.
The baba is good in yoga but has no political clout. Instead of attracting people, he will drive away people and nothing good will come out of his support.
Modi should thank him for his willingness of support and request him to concentrate only on yoga.
