Ramdev to decide on contesting 2014 polls after Delhi stir

Published on Jul 17 2012 // Political News

Nagpur, Jul 17: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev said he would take a call on contesting the 2014 Lok Sabha elections depending upon the success of his agitation scheduled next month in Delhi.

“At this juncture, I am concentrating on bringing back black money from abroad for implementing a strong Lokpal Bill. However, if support pours in for Bharat Swabhiman Sanghatna, I will think about joining mainstream politics,” Ramdev told reporters.

He was in the city to garner support for the Aug 9 protest to be held in Delhi under the aegis of Bharat Swabhiman Sanghatna.

The proposed stir will be backed by Team Anna, Ramdev said, adding “we have not decided when the agitation will end”.

On allowing FDI in the retail sector, Ramdev said doing so will only benefit foreign companies.
