Baba Ramdev vows to finish Congress




Baba Ramdev, who ended his fast with a glass of lemon juice handed over by a young brother-sister duo around noon, asked his supporters to ensure that not a single Congress member gets elected. Calling the PM a “robot”, he said Manmohan Singh’s personal integrity would be at stake if he didn’t act against corruption. “If he does not show political will and honesty, he will be deemed as corrupt. If he can’t remain politically honest then he should leave the post,” he said.
Defying the Delhi police’s repeated warnings to vacate Ambedkar Stadium, the yoga guru told his supporters who had spent the night with him that they could have stopped the PM from hoisting the flag on Independence Day but chose not to do it. He reiterated his slogan, “Congress hatao, desh bachao (Remove Congress, save the country).” Charging the UPA government with failing to bring back black money, he said it would have lost if there was any voting on the issue in Parliament. “If Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati withdraw support, the government will fall in one day,” he said.
Ramdev was supported by BJP leader Jethmalani who also made some provocative statements. He claimed that many politicians, including Rahul Gandhi, had black money stashed abroad and would change his name if 50% of the Cabinet ministers did not land in jail after they were overthrown from power.
