Calling on all of India to support his agitation against black money and graft, Ramdev said: “India could have won gold if there was a competition for corruption in the Olympics.
The crowds, which had started gathering since 8am, cheered and clapped enthusiastically, to which Ramdev said, “This is not a matter to applaud.””
via India can win gold for corruption, Ramdev says – The Times of India.
