New Delhi, March 05: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev is set to enter the political battlefield. On Thursday, he declared launching a political party and fielding candidates for the next Lok Sabha elections.
“We have already launched Bharat Swabhiman campaign all over India and now we will launch our political party to contest the general elections,” he said after holding a state-level meeting of working committees of Bharat Swabhiman and Pitanjali Yog Samiti at Rizzle Resort on Pakhowal Road.
He, however, clarified he would not hold any office. “My role will be like that of Lord Krishna and Lord Rama who fought for the good,” he said.
He said the Bharat Swabhiman is based on three aims to end corrupt practices, bring back the Indian black money and use it for the development of the nation; changing the system that has been continuing since the British period and to punish rapists, dowry accused, terrorists and corrupt people. “These corrupt men should be hanged to death and the President of India should not give them any relaxation,” he said.
About the Indian black money deposited in Swiss banks, he said, “The Swiss government has given a list of depositors of black money to the government and it should be made public. I wonder why the government is hiding the names.”
