Vadodara police cancel permission to Ramdev’s camp


Vadodara, 24 April 2014

According to Vadodara Congress candidate Madhusudan Mistry the Vadodara city police have cancelled the permission granted to yoga guru Baba Ramdev for organizing a camp in Vadodara on Saturday. The permission was turned down after the officials received new guidelines from the Election Commission of India (ECI). Police had earlier granted permission to Ramdev and decided to monitor his camp to ensure that no political campaigning happens at the venue. The Congress had complained to the ECI, alleging that the yoga guru was coming to Vadodara to campaign for chief minister Narendra Modi. Ramdev has been crisscrossing the country to campaign for some BJP candidates.
