Yoga guru ramps up his anti-corruption drive
Baba Ramdev yesterday told thousands of cheering supporters at a sprawling fairground in the capital that he would announce an action plan this week to “intensify the protest across the country in the form of a people’s revolt”.
He asked his supporters to be ready to accept arrest, but urged them to be peaceful and shun violence. “I will be the first person to go to jail,” he said.
