Narendra Modi is a giant like the Himalaya while Rahul Gandhi is very very small: Ramdev

Describing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as a giant like the Himalayas, Yoga guru Ramdev today said Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi was "very very small" in stature in comparison.

He told reporters that several Congress leaders were trying to project Rahul as the next Prime Minister out of "sheer compulsion".

Ramdev said the country was facing numerous issues like poverty, hunger, corruption and inequalities, but the Congress leaders were in "deep slumber".

He said he and his supporters have taken it upon themselves to rid the country of Congress' alleged misrule.
