This year, international Yoga day celebration will be held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat during 18-21 June. The message of Yoga will reach the world. 5 lakh persons will take part in Yoga day event and make a record. Prior to election, the entire nation witnessed a slogan that Achche Din will come. People used to ask me how Achche Din will come. I want to say that through combination of Yoga and Udyoga and with that spiritual and economic progress Achche Din are coming to this country and also at global level later on.”

BJP president Amit Shah is a Yogi – Baba Ramdev in Gujarat

Talking to newsmen after meeting chief minister Vijay Rupani, Baba Ramdev, who arrived Gujarat today in connection with the preparations for his four day yoga camp on the occasion of International Yoga Day from June 18 to 21, said that BJP president Amit Shah would participate in the concluding session of the camp as chief guest.

‘The camp which would create a world record with participation of 5 lakh people would be inaugurated by CM Rupani and it would be concluded by Amit Shah, the BJP president who himself was a Yogi,’ Baba Ramdev said in fluent Gujarati.

‘Amitbhai is a yogi because of his strong dedication to Yoga, spirituality and Indian cultural values,’ he said.
