New Delhi:
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh slammed yoga guru Baba Ramdev's fast against corruption by calling it a "five star satyagraha".
"The Baba travels in a private jet, stays in a five-star luxury hotel, is having satyagraha in fancy tents with all modern facilities and has the money for such arrangements before going on a fast. This is surely a five-star satyagraha as you doubt his credibilty," the senior leader said.
He also said that Baba Ramdev had "strong affiliations with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)".
"The foot soldiers in the fast are from the RSS. It is evident that the RSS is supporting it," he said.
The yoga guru began his fast on Saturday morning at the Capital's Ramlila Maidan. He was joined by thousands of followers from across the country. Former VHP leader Sadhvi Ritambara also shared the stage with him. A number of RSS activist were also seen at the site.
Ramdev has been demanding that the government take urgent steps to bring back black money stashed abroad and also take effective measures to curb corruption in the country.
