Ramdev for anti-Congress campaign from Oct 2

Yoga guru Ramdev will start his anti-Congress campaign, aimed at defeating the party in the coming elections, on October 2. 

 

Though his prime focus will be 2014 elections, he will begin with the upcoming assembly polls in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.

 At a press conference, Ramdev sought the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

“If the PM is honest, who is dishonest?” said Ramdev, who ended his fast on August 14 after a five-day symbolic fast at Rameleela Maidan and vowed to come out with an anti-Congress programme.  

He said that his next phase of agitation would begin on October 2 and continue till the Lok Sabha elections to pull down the “corrupt” leadership of the Congress at the Centre.

However, he said that his immediate priority would be Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.  

Ramdev, who enjoys a love and hate relationship with disbanded Team Anna, denied any comment on its effort to launch a new party, but indirectly showed his opposition to it. He also said he is not in competition with any one and will not comment on whether he will support them.
