Though Baba Ramdev shall be admired for launching a struggle against corruption, his flamboyant style of using a Jet plane and a 5-star hotel to negotiate with the government, the fund-raising drive by his aide and his sharing of the dais with a known communal bigot had made him a suspect in the eyes of the common man. And then, when the Delhi police swooped in the midnight at Ramlila grounds, his jumping down from the stage, covering himself in a woman’s apparel have reduced his stature as an asinine fighter. That said, the UPA government should be denounced for its weak-kneed conduct of treating Ramdev like a war hero in the beginning and later calling him a ‘thug’.
