| An hour after announcing that he will go ahead with his plans to launch a hunger strike against corruption tomorrow, Baba Ramdev headed to the five-star Claridges Hotel in Delhi to meet with the two ministers deputed to talk him out of his fast.
Addressing nearly 5000 people at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, the yoga icon indicated that both sides were stretching towards a breakthrough. "Barring one or two issues, a consensus seems to be emerging between us and the government," he said. (Watch)
That statement could help the government relax more than the sort of exercises that the Baba regularly demonstrates in his televised yoga sessions for audiences of millions. Kapil Sibal and Subodh Kant Sahay have been assigned to handle Mr Ramdev's charter of demands for what he describes as his "satyagraha against corruption."
"Some people have hijacked democracy, given in to corruption," said the Baba at Ramlila Maidan. The crowds that had arrived at dawn for an early workout with Mr Ramdev clapped loudly. "For those who can't make it to Delhi...in 624 districts...we will be sitting on fast from 7am to 9 pm in the evening from tomorrow, that is the 4th. Here in Delhi, I will share the stage with the masses, no separate shelter for me," he said. "This is not a communal or a political movement," he added
