Several people from across the state today staged a sit-in demonstration in Patna under the banner of Bharat Swabhiman Trust lending support to the ongoing Satyagraha by Yoga guru Ramdev against corruption.

Activists of more than 60 social voluntary, religious and spiritual organisations joined the demonstration under the banner of the trust of Patanjali Yoga Samiti at Kargil chowk in Patna.

Ashish Kumar Sinha, convener of the Patajali Yoga Samiti in Patna District, said over 100 people sat on fast at different district headquarters here in support of the Yoga guru's fight to end corruption.

Teachers, social activists, students, besides people from different sections of the society have expressed their support to Ramdev's Satyagraha.
