Ramdev alleges conspiracy to link him to death of an associate
New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Sunday condemned Congress leader Digvijaya Singh for levelling allegations against him and said it was all part of a concerted attempt to malign him.
Addressing a press conference here, Ramdev said efforts are being made to point fingers at him for death of Rajiv Dixit though he died due a cardiac problem.
“There has been conspiracy to blame me for his death. I never thought people can go to this extent to blame me. I challenge him to confront me,” he said without naming the Congress leader.
Dixit had died in November 2010 in Chattisgarh.
Ramdev said the Uttrakhand police had failed to trace the missing Shanker Dev, and that he had nothing to do with the matter. He said the Congress general secretary had made it appear like he was responsible for the death of guru Rajiv Dikshit, who died of cardiac ailment in 2010.
Ramdev, under the banner of Bharat Swabhiman Party, is leading public protests against corruption.
Asked about the ‘Jal Satyagraha’ by people in Khandwa and Harda districts of Madhya Pradesh, Ramdev said the demand of the agitators should be looked into seriously.
“I spoke to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The issue must be addressed to,” he said.
