Yoga guru Baba Ramdev said here on Wednesday that a people's movement to liberate the country from rampant corruption and build a strong spiritual ‘Bharat' would be launched by him in June.
He told journalists that after tasting success in the first phase, it was decided to launch Bharat Swabhiman Andolan from Ujjain to cleanse the political system. The movement would bring significant change in the system as the crusade against corruption would be in the form of ‘Satyagraha.' The Andolan would have its network in over 600 districts across the country and a ‘Yuva Bharat' programme would also be launched to attract youth for social change.
Baba Ramdev said one of the main objectives of the movement was to bring about an end to corruption and bring back black money stashed away in various financial institutions in the country and abroad.
He said currency notes of higher denomination should be removed from the financial system to bring about changes in electoral politics given the fact that present-day elections were being held with black money.
“The movement has already set June as the deadline for the government to withdraw circulation of currency notes of higher denomination,” he said.
He said it was necessary to direct political parties to declare assets of the elected representatives and those in high places to bring transparency.
