Baba Ramdev backs Modi, warns BJP

Even if a “frustrated” Narendra Modi sought to rule himself out of the PM’s race and said he wants to serve Gujarat till 2017, yoga guru Baba Ramdev has come out in his support and said that he will reconsider about his support to BJP if Modi is not declared the PM’s candidate for 2014.

Baba-RamdevBaba Ramdev, a staunch supporter of Narendra Modi, said that majority of the people in the country want Narendra Modi at the helm. “Modi Lao, Desh Bachao” is the slogan today. Any attempt to prevent Modi from becoming the PM, would not go well with the people of this country, he said.
