Ramdev targets UPA, says 'evil game of black money has begun'

     Asserting that the evil game of black money has begun, yoga guru Baba Ramdev has said there would be surge in corruption with the advent of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail. "The government is in minority and the evil game of black money has begun. We have received information from several states that chief ministers of Congress-ruled states have been given targets to bring huge amount of money," he told mediapersons here on Friday. Baba Ramdev also lashed out at the UPA Government for the misappropriation of trillions of national wealth. The yoga guru further said that he shared warm and friendly relations with veteran social activist Anna Hazare. "I shared good relations with him (Anna Hazare) for around three years. Whenever we meet, we exercise patience on critical issues and some decisions should not be taken in hurry," he added. Anna and his supporters on Wednesday parted ways with the RTI crusader Arvind Kejriwal-led group who were pitching for the movement forming a party and fight elections. Hazare, who was the face of the India Against Corruption (IAC) campaign, had earlier this week said that he would not be a part of the political arm of the movement, spearheaded by Kejriwal. "I will not join any party or any group. I will not go for their campaign. I have told them not to use my photo or my name in their campaign. You fight on your own," he said. Hazare refused to accept the survey done by India Against Corruption which overwhelmingly favoured a political path, saying he does not agree with the exercise done through social networking sites. "My best wishes are with them (those taking political path). There is no harm in it. If they think that they can get majority in Parliament, it is good...The paths have been separated. Both of us have chosen our separate paths," he said. Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan, Manish Sisodia and others want to form a political party and contest elections to usher in fundamental changes in the country's democratic structure. Hazare had staged a hunger strike against corruption that roused public ire against the government. Thousands took to the streets at his call, demanding for an anti-graft Lokpal (ombudsman) to tackle rampant graft.
