Yoga guru Baba Ramdev launched his indefinite fast against corruption and black money in New Delhi this morning after the government failed to persuade him to call off his protest.The yoga guru began the protest along with thousands of his followers at the Ramlila Maidan as he was joined by Swami Sadhvi Ritambara. Before launching the fast, Baba Ramdev held a yoga and bhajan session.

Baba Ramdev alleged there was a conspiracy against him to ensure that he does not go ahead with his protest fast but asserted that it had failed. The crowd cheered Baba Ramdev whenever he spoke about bringing back black money, declaring it as a national asset and other issues of corruption. A number of RSS pracharaks in their uniforms were also seen at the site, keenly listening to the discourse.
