Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev, who is all set to launch his indefinite agitation, on Wednesday said that he has no political ambitions, and added that his main mission is to save the country by bringing back black money stashed in safe havens abroad. Talking to the media in the eve of his agitation, Baba Ramdev said that he has no political ambitions. "We have no political mission or political agenda. Our only mission is to save the country by bringing back black money," he said. The yoga guru further said that it is all up to veteran social activist Anna Hazare whether to join him in his agitation. "Annaji has more than once publicly promised that he is joining me on August 9, so now its up to him to decide," he said, when asked whether Hazare would be joining him at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi. "We have appealed to every social, religious, political and spiritual organisation to join our movement. So anyone can come and join us tomorrow," he added. Baba Ramdev, who has so far been at loggerheads with the ruling UPA Government, is expected to put forward various issues during his indefinite agitation such as making the CBI independent and the Lokpal Bill.
