Monitoring Indian Communists - 2

[Guest]

Sw. Ramdev being born a yadav probably was a big factor in Laloo and Mulayam's support. Other could be his growing popularity with the masses.

Even a CPI(M) senior leader in Calcutta now supports him! Brinda Karat surely didn't expect that!

Meanwhile, more politicians lined up to back Ramdev—who was born Ram Kishan Yadav in village Alipur of Mahendragarh district of Haryana. Bharatiya Kisan Union President Mahendra Singh Tikait today warned that his outfit would launch an agitation to muster support for the yoga guru. He said the attack on Ramdev would have an impact on the country’s farming community and called the controversy a ‘‘conspiracy of multinational companies.’’
