Haridwar: With questions being raised over his huge assets, Baba Ramdev will make public today his personal financial details and also the assets of firms and trusts associated with him.
Baba Ramdev's 1,100 crore mammoth business empire and the dealings of his key aide Balakrishna are under the I-T scanner. Balancesheets of the companies under Ramdev banner will be handed over to the taxmen. In the last five years, Ramdev is said to have built a huge business empire of over 30 companies. Balakrishna is a director in most of them..
"We will come out with financial details of Patanjali Yogapeeth and all our companies by Thursday. We will upload it on our website also," Balkrishna told reporters.
"It will have financial details of Patanjali and other businesses and companies associated with it. It will have all financial details," Balkrishna said.
Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had questioned how Ramdev had amassed so much of assets and demanded a probe into it.
Balkrishna tried to play down Ramdev's threat to raise an 11,000-strong force that will be trained to retaliate if authorities crackdown on their anti-corruption campaign.
"The sena will be for self-defence...it is not to harm anybody but for defence of our own people," Balkrishna said.
Referring to the contention that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is backing Ramdev's agitation, Balkrishna said the yoga guru should not be associated with any group.
"Attempts are being made to associate Patanjali with RSS, BJP and others. We are not associated with any group, political or religious, or in any way. We welcome everybody," he said.
