Baba Ramdev began his indefinite hunger strike at 7 am in New Delhi today. The government yesterday failed to persuade him to call off his plans. The yoga icon describes his fast as a "satyagraha against corruption and black money."Thousands of his supporters joined him at the Ramlila Maidan this morning and many more are expected to gather there through the day. Former VHP leader Sadhvi Ritambara shared the stage with him. A number of RSS activist were also seen at the site.
The Baba says he's not misappropriating his considerable stature to stray into areas that he may not be familiar with. "I am not crossing the limits of Yoga. Not lying and stealing is also part of yoga and I am trying to bring those who have crossed that limit back within the limit," he declared.
