Like Vasudev, he too has grabbed land, with or without government complicity like in the Aravalli or the elephant corridor in Assam - which should not really belong to him.

He was doing pretty well until he decided to escape from the Ramlila Grounds in New Delhi in women's clothing and gratuitously equated that with Chhatrapati Shivajis daring escape from Aurangzebs prison in Agra. Since then, instead of sticking to his kapalbhati and anulom-vilom which, admittedly, he had a huge hand in popularising, he has claimed to be the original formulator of the Demonetisation theory as a means to curb black money.

If true, we all by now know what a disastrous policy demonetisation was and all the more reason for the government to put a twenty feet wide distance between themselves and Ramdev. But failure and exposure just does not stop Ramdev. After suggesting that he would behead anyone who does not chant Bharat Mata ki jai (what about those who prefer Jai Hind instead, I wonder, like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Indira Gandhi) Ramdev now is calling on the government to take action against all those clamouring for freedom from the governments oppression.
