‘Can’t say who will be next prime minister,’ says Ramdev

TIL Desk/National/Madurai/ With months to go for the 2019 general elections, yoga guru Ramdev said the political situation in the country is currently complex and it was difficult to predict who would win the polls.  “Now the political situation is very difficult. We cannot say who will [be] the next prime minister or who will lead the country, but situation is very interesting…” Ramdev said in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai.

The comments come two weeks after assembly elections in five states, in which the Congress managed to win three heartland states from the BJP – Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. While K Chandrashekar Rao’s Telangana Rashtra Samithi retained Telangana, the Congress lost Mizoram to the Mizo National Front.

Ramdev said he is not going to support any person or oppose any party in the Lok Sabha elections due next year.  “I am not focusing on politics,” he said. “We don’t have a political or religious agenda but we want a spiritual country and a spiritual world. Through yoga and Vedic practices, we are making a divine, prosperous and spiritual India,” said Ramdev.
