Emergency @ midnight in Ram Lila Maidan

Yesterday, exactly 60 days were completed, when Anna started his fast against corruption and shook the govt. and won the hearts of entire country. Since then, it has been a hot topic of discussion in public domain. And, everybody wants to be that part of this debate and be the limelight in media. So, Baba Ramdev also decided to be the part of this wagon. Why to miss such sensitive issue. He announced his satyagrah on a very carefully chosen date. But there are some differences between the two. Anna's fast mainly appealed to the Indian middle class, while Baba's anshan mainly involed rural population for whom Baba is everything. But the major and most important difference is: While Anna team was not involved in any kind of secret and closed door discussions with the govt., Baba was holding such discussions with govt. and exchaning written assurances. When this came into open created a layer of confusion and doubt in general public about the commitment of Baba to the fight agains
