* Ramdev Baba visits Nizamabad district

Noted yoga exponent Ramdev Baba on Thursday, expressed that he had taken up Bharat Swabhiman Yatra for the cause of corruption - free India. Conducting a public yoga session in Nizamabad district, appealed to the people to support his fight against rampant corruption in the country.

Alleging that the politics in the country have been plunged into neck deep degeneracy, Baba announced that he would launch a political party to achieve the goal. The latest target of the much-televised yoga guru, who was getting ready for his political career, has resulted in an unusual pile of papers for income-tax officials.

The guru, who has launched an organisation called Bharat Swabhimaan, merely exercising his right as a citizen, has sent memoranda against black money to the president and the prime minister bearing signatures of nearly three million people from across the country.
