Baba Ramdev disillusioned with BJP within one year - lauds Rahul Gandhi

Yog Guru Baba Ramdev has always been a staunch supporter of the BJP but, as the Modi government is celebrating its one year in office, Ramdev has expressed his disillusionment. He made the comments while talking to a TV new channel and it has been reported in indiatoday.intoday.in dated 19 May 2015.
He has lauded the efforts of Rahul Gandhi to revive the Congress party, which suffered a major setback in the 2014 Assembly elections. He has also said that Rahul has injected new life in congress and has shown up the Modi government as anti-poor.

Ramdev has gone to the extent of saying that some of the BJP leaders have become arrogant after their landslide victory in 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Of course, he has praised PM Narendra Modi, but has also emphasized that the central government is gradually getting stuck with an anti-farmer image which needs to be coerced.
On the issue of black money, his enthusiasm appears to have been dampened because he, like so many others, had harbored an impression that bringing the stashed black money was a simple affair and that the earlier governments had not put in proper efforts.
The Baba is now a more wise man – he has realized that it is not that easy and simple affair and he has indicated that he would wait till June and then decide on the future course of action on black money.
