Baba Ramdev announced fast unto death from June 4 in New Delhi to demand capital punishment for corrupt officials and recovery of black money stashed away in Swiss banks by Indian politicians and businessmen.

Ramdev said that names of all foreign bank account holders should be made public and high denomination currency notes like of 500 and 1,000 be banned.

His supporters in India and abroad will join him in New Delhi.

He will also write a letter to the Prime Minister. He added that he wont be entering into politics but will take part in active politics.

So what will this lead to? Removal of corruption?? Let us wait and watch...

Ramdev seems to have his own agenda. He wants enter into politics. To get popularity the route he has taken is Yoga and health. He got his popularity. He want to channelise his popularity for testing his fate in politics. Now he wants to fight against corruption taking the path of Anna Hazare. His hidden agenda is to enter into politics. He is exploring different avenues for this. I doubt his credibility.

whether Baba Ramdeo is right or wrong but he definitely have raised a question which is relevant for every Indian and It,s because of the failure on the part of our elected representative that Baba and Anna are being generating such a mass movement we being affected party must support them to root out corruption.

Ultimately Baba has shown the world his real "Aukaat" that he is a damn "Dhongi Baba" he has no concern with Indian goodwill he is propagating for this because he wants public attention and he has really chosen cheapest trick in political standard. I knew it right the day he came in television media that he is a total waste and a man of no good only doing stupid tricks and being a joker on screen. This is really the "Ghor Kalyug" indeed where the people are forgetting the duties associated with the profession and their limitations. Baba is a shit

Baba Ramdev or Anna Hazare or anyone can't remove corruption without the help of the common man. Entering into politics is not a thing to be criticised, a person who has done so much for the society has all the right to do so.Only those people who are afraid that Baba will open their history are not able to digest it. Nobody criticised when Mr. Rahul Gandhi or the relatives of Sharad pawar or thackerays entered politics does that mean they were born to help the Indian society.. ?

It is a step forward to enter the politics. I think he is no different from the new entrant and want name and money.
Again trying to grab the attention that he is interested and willing to change the Indian Politics... Lets hope...

Without power nobody is able to change anything! If anybody wants to change the current situation or what in his mind,he should have power which can be attained by entering into the politics! So BABA RAMDEV is a clever person!THanx for referral Neelima!

Nowadays, some people getting into fast to make themselves familiar with public.  After Baba Ramdev, who is next to go into  this race? :)

Baba Ramdev has finally revealed his agenda - his move to politics. So far he has done an amazing job with his yoga and ayurvedic products (I use two of these on a regular basis). But what gives him the credentials to be a good politician (pun intended)? I strongly opine that he sticks to his yoga and do yeoman service through his choosen field rather than get into the murky waters of Indian politics.

No idea whether this will remove corruption.. but the good thing is this will bring people together and what government is not doing... rather say restraining itself from doing will now need to take atleast baby step in doing the same. Afterall this will benefit to all of us & will be an eye opener for many who still supports the government which supports the corruption...

Thanks Neelima for referal.When Anna is moving for same cause is it required for Baba to act seperately?This only will give him some footage in media.We all are against corruption and can stand in one platform.

This is not the time to show one's own supremacy!  Baba Ramdev wants to assert to the civil society organisations that his Trust has more followers than what Anna Hazare's.  Hence this move, I suppose!  This, according to me, will only weaken whatever civil society organisations want to do!  We are democracy, people elected government is in the helm of affairs, not monarchy!  Threatening the Government in installment is not the solution.  Baba Ramdev should have waited for the outcome of Jan Lokpal Bill in the Parliament till August 2011.  If he is in a hurry, he is having some hidden agenda!

With rising inflation the purchasing power of the Rupee is declining. Banning Rs.500 & Rs.1000 notes will only create difficulty for the common man as these are regularly used for paying bills and normal daily transactions in small businesses.
The discontinuance of these notes may help in removal of fake currency but it will result in an acute shortage of paper currency and handling difficulties.
The move will not help in curbing black money as hoarders are now wise enough not to keep all eggs in one basket. The use of other hard currencies and precious metals is quite common. Investment in assets under fake names is another way of hiding unaccounted wealth. 
The Indian constitution and the Criminal Procedure Code were well drafted by some of the wisest Indians and enough measures exist to curb illegal practices. The requirement of the day is lack of implementation due to corruption.
Anna’s move is in the right direction and when corruption is uprooted the problem of black money will also be resolved to an appreciable extent.
Further steps in this direction could be the rationalization of direct taxes, the reduction of government levies and estate duties. Simplification of government procedures and transparency would also help reduction in generation of black money.

I think anna wants something more like Ramdev but he left the main object for Radev. Anna ji recomended by some social /legal professionals who want only to form a pannel in which their name should be considered along with the Government nominee only ant that act was done by Annaji. But the main cause to rootout the corruption, I think Ramdevji wants to complete this.

Thanks,Neelima for referral.Baba is already a millionaire. He should strengthen the hands of Anna Hazare rather than opening a separate front.He will never succeed.

It is better how much less talk about him. First he should leave the saffron and come in to the public life. Second lead a common man like. Making and creating the reversals is not the first time. Previously, he commented Actress Shilpa Shetty, which a saint like person should not do. Again on Corruption, advised the government to cancel 500/- & 1000/- currency denominations to reduce. Now Anna Hazare. The saddest and imbalanced person, who ran behind LOk Pal Bill.... along with these saffrons and BJP religious touched. next in a few days he is going to fast..... for whom and for what is to known to him...... I dont bother.... A saint who ran away from public life and having a lot of desires on out side world is not at all called a saint. Thinking about him is waste of time and energy...

Anna supports a solution which I think I support. Baba is raising debatable issues which I don't think is a positive way for our country. He should instead go to the parliament as MP to raise the issues and work on making Laws.

He is just a fake ignore him Neelima.  He is only a Yoga Guru who amassed wealth over Rs. 1600 crores  by selling fake medicines called aryavedic medicine & yoga camps in India & abroad.Do  you remember that Brinda Karte M.P. has taken up the issue as it was proved that his medicine contained human skull powder mix.

Do not compare him to Anna's stature. Even he tried to put Anna on the mat by insisting Kiran Bedi into the Drafting Committee for Jan Lokpal Bill against her wish. 


  Yes we need support from every corner for the good work thats it, we should not allow such guise to lead or become overnight heroes without any commitments. Lokpal bill is the only solution to stop such corruption & bring & book the guilty including Prime Minister, if drafted stringently.

Such attempts by individuals will divert & dilute the seriousness & govt.will easily escape from their commitment. Supreme Court has already took cognizance of the same & govt. has committed to do so but asked for time since it is bound by international law it can be done by pursuance and diplomatic channel with the respective Govts.
