Yoga Guru Ramdev on Sunday voiced his dissatisfaction with the scale of efforts being made by the BJP led Central Government to bring back the black money stashed abroad.
“Because of lack of effective steps on the black money issue, I and people in the country are dissatisfied,” said Ramdev while talking to the mediapersons here.
He said, “I have spoken with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and BJP president Amit Shah on this issue. When people are listening in Parliament then we should not speak on the street. At least they are listening…”
In December last year also, Ramdev had spoken out against NDA Government’s initiatives to bring back black money from foreign countries but hoped that it will soon act on the issue
On the controversy revolving over film ‘Udta Punjab’, Ramdev said he could not comment on the matter as he does not watch movies.
He added, "But the use of drugs in the country is growing which should be stopped and efforts are required to be made by everybody in this regard.”
On Congress’ proposed protest against drug menace and “deteriorating” law and order situation in Punjab at Jalandhar on Monday which will be led by party's vice president Rahul Gandhi, Ramdev said, “One should first ask him (Rahul) whether he took drugs in his life ever.”
He also took a dig at Congress over plans to elevate Rahul Gandhi as party president. “If they make Rahul Gandhi the president of the party, the BJP workers shall become lazy as they will have to put in less hard work. But if they chose to make Priyanka as president then BJP people will have to do Yoga,” he added.
