NEW DELHI: Armed with a wit and charm rustic land, Baba Ramdev made an appearance at Jantar Mantar on Friday and injected much needed enthusiasm - as well as the support of his large following - in what has been an agitation poor led by activist Anna Hazare so far.
In a clear sign of strength, yoga guru arrived with an entourage that could rival a Bollywood star and effortlessly drew crowds that had been so elusive to the team of Anna. The equation seemed to have changed completely since last August, when virtually yoga guru had forced himself on stage to share a bit of reflected glory of Anna Hazare.
Arvind Kejriwal along with fasting, Manish Sisodia Gopal Rai, and day 3 of the shock, Ramdev again expressed solidarity with Anna leaving aside the other members of the camp. He echoed the concern that the president of Anna, Pranab Mukherjee, should not be targeted.
"The president is a constitutional office. One should not criticize those holding constitutional positions. Even Anna Hazare agree with this," he told reporters in Ramlila Maidan Ramdev, where he was to launch its agitation against blackmoney August 9 . The yoga guru, however, did not spare PM Manmohan Singh. Referring to the cover of Time magazine to call it a "low yield" Ramdev said: "This is an embarrassment ... The country needs honest and 13:00 the country will change."
Ramdev does not just come to the Janata swelled to 300 in the morning more than 3,000 in the afternoon. He also brought humor to the proceedings. People were allowed to ask questions or make comments during his speech at the Jantar Mantar. When asked why he did not name the accused that he replied, "logon ka naam Badnaam Nahin chahiye Lena." He also attacked the decline of public support to the team of Anna, an indication of the growing gap between the two parties.
After the limited public participation in the Jantar Mantar, Anna has stepped in to save the stir. Calling a non-issue, Hazare said no matter how many people came to support the cause.
Ramdev addition, the groups generally present in fasting, but Anna had been absent this time - professionals, students, women, showed on Friday. However, there was a difference of several thousand between estimates Ana Team and police in the size of the crowd. Team members said that Anna had a "floating" crowd of 10,000 people, while the police estimate was 5,000 at peak times.
While the size of the crowd was much the same as other days in the morning swelled considerably in mid-afternoon. Women seem to have answered the call Kiran Bedi for the support and come in fairly large quantities. "After reading tweets on my phone Kiran Bedi who immediately wanted to join. I came as soon as was done with college. Participation of women is essential in any social movement in order to ensure that there is unilateral," said Du student Aanchal Chauhan.
"It is important that a senior citizen we are here protesting," said Neha Bhatia banker, who was accompanied by many other professionals like herself, who came to the premises on Day 3 as Delhiites finally started pouring in.
