BJP stands by Ramdev: Rajnath Singh

Balasore (Orissa), June 13: Slamming the UPA for its alleged inaction in retrieving black money stashed abroad, senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh on Sunday, June 12 said his party strongly stood by yoga guru Ramdev's campaign against it.

"Ramdev has rightly raised the issue of black money. BJP and other nationalist forces fully support his fight for the just cause," Singh told a party gathering at Nilagiri.

Condemning the police action at the Ramlila grounds in Delhi, the former BJP chief said, "Congress is in a state of panic seeing the unprecedented and overwhelming support Ramdev got country-wide on the issue of black money."

Accusing the Centre of failing to take any step to bring back the black money stashed in foreign banks, he told another meeting at Barbil that if the black money was retrieved, each citizen would be benefited with at least Rs 1,80,000.
