New Delhi: Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh
Yadav Tuesday said he backed yoga guru Ramdev's campaign to bring
back black money stashed in foreign banks.
Ramdev, who has been lobbying for support for his campaign and has
met a series of political leaders, Tuesday called on Mulayam Singh
at his residence.
"We are with baba in his fight against black money," Mulayam Singh
told reporters.
Over the last few days, Ramdev has met Telugu Desam Party (TDP)
chief N. Chandrababu Naidu, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president
Nitin Gadkari, Nationalist Congress Party's Sharad Pawar and
Rashtriya Lok Dal's Ajit Singh.
"I am meeting Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik tomorrow
(Wednesday). I will also be meeting West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa and
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati in the coming weeks," said
Ramdev, who is planning an agitation against black money and
corruption on Aug 9.
Vowing to meet village council representatives to build consensus
on the issue, Ramdev said he had also sought a meeting with Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
Attacking the union government, Ramdev said that in the last one
year he had received over 60 notices on income tax and service tax
and from the enforcement directorate.
"The government is trying to tarnish our image by coming up with
false allegations against us every other day. I have written to
the prime minister some 10 months ago that if there is any doubt
about my organisation, then he can order a special investigation
but there has been no response," he said.
