» Baba Ramdev: Telangana Formation Is A Must, Ensure No Corruption
Baba For Corruption Free Telangana
Baba Ramdev demanded that the Centre must announce the creation of the Telangana state immediately, but stated that corruption needs to be tackled first.
Yoga guru, Baba Ramdev, on Sunday stated that the formation of a separate Telangana state is a must. "However," he said, "any new state would be of no use if corruption is not checked."
Addressing a gathering at the yoga camp at the NTR Stadium near Indira Park, Baba Ramdev said that it's only the politicians who will lose out if Telangana is carved out from Andhra Pradesh. "The separation will not put the common man at loss," he added.
The yoga guru, who is immensely respected across the country, demanded that the Centre must announce the creation of the Telangana state immediately, but also warned that corruption must be tackled first.
Baba Ramdev further added that corruption is ruining the administration across the country, and there is little that is being done to curb the evil.
Referring to his proposed political party, the Yoga Guru stated that his party's first priority would be the fight against corruption. He promised to reveal details about the proposed party soon.
Baba Ramdev's speech was intermittently punctuated with 'Jai Telangana' slogans by the crowd.
The popular Yoga Guru has been touring the state as part of his 'Swabhiman Yatra'. The tour is aimed at spreading awareness about the much-prevalent corruption in the country.
He has raised the Telangana statehood demand at all the camps that he has addressed, and has been stressing on the point that smaller states will ensure faster development, and would be more convenient to administer.
