Ramdev to campaign against Congress candidates in Punjab elections

Yoga guru Ramdev Monday said he along with his supporters would campaign against Congress candidates in the upcoming assembly election in Punjab.

He would also visit other poll-bound states, including Uttar Pradesh, to ensure defeat of Congress candidates, he said.

A third front would be formed before the next Lok Sabha elections in 2014, Ramdev told reporters after holding a yoga camp at the police ground here.

Replying to a question, Ramdev said he had already written to the Central government to take stringent action against the corrupt.

"But, I have not received any reply so far," he said.

On runaway inflation, Ramdev said the Centre and state governments were equally responsible for the price spiral.

Both were not serious to bring down prices of essential commodities, he said.
