Aiming to “awaken people about corruption and black money”, Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Monday started the 10,000-km-long Bharat Swambiman Yatra from here.

“My yatra, 2012 Mahasangram, will awaken people in the entire country on the issue of black money and corruption. The Mahasangram, which started from the land of Veerangana Rani Laxmi Bai, will reach Parliament from roads one day,” he said on the first day of the yatra.

After covering about 10,000 km, the yatra will end at Prayag in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, his supporters said.

Earlier, Ramdev held a two-hour yoga camp in the district.
