Bhubaneswar: After saying no for years, the world renowned Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has finally expressed his desires to enter politics to clean up the political system of the country.
According to reports, the Yoga guru has revealed his intentions to join politics during an interaction with media persons in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday.
Baba Ramdev announced that he plans to enter politics before the 2014 General Elections with an aim to strengthen the roots of Parliamentary democracy and clean up the political system.
However, he had clarified that he would not join any of the existing political party and instead float his own political forum.
The media-savvy yoga guru also shared his disappointment over the rampant corruption in the country and maintained that India could become an economic superpower only if an effective mechanism to tackle corruption is evolved.
Baba Ramdev also shared his views on the row surrounding the introduction of Bt brinjal in India.
The Yoga guru was quoted as saying, “The consumption of genetically modified food is injurious to health as it leads to kidney and liver disorders.
On the ongoing IPL controversy, Baba Ramdev stated that sports alone won’t help bridge the gap between the two hostile neighbours India and Pakistan.
He quizzed that we have been plying cricket for over 60 years but still it has not helped in easing tension. Moreover deliberate attempts have been made to drag sports in politics by the political parties, he added.
Baba Ramdev is no doubt a person of great capacity and stands for the best in Indian culture. A person like him entering politics would have a profound effect. However, to float one's own political party means starting from a scratch. He needs to have people who not only share his vision but also are as pristine in character as he is. The difference he hopes to make would hinge on the type of people who would make up his political party. Here is wishing him all the best.
