Cabinet Rank Status to Baba Ramdev

There was a time when yoga guru Baba Ramdev had faced humilating experience in the hands of Delhi police for sitting on an indefinite hunger strike to insist the UPA government to bring back the black money from the foreign countries. The UPA government did not let him go off its hook even after he flees away to his Ashram in Uttarakhand state. It files some petty cases against him and his followers and harassed him like anything.
But, there is dramatic change in his situation with the change of governments at Delhi and Haryana states. The Haryana state cabinet has approved the Chief Minister Manoharlal Khattar’s proposal to grant cabinet rank status to Baba Ramdev. The cabinet also approves the proposal of appointing him as the brand ambassador of the state for Yoga and Ayurveda. He will be given all protocol formalities like security cover, phone and vehicle allowances etc. but won’t be given any remuneration for his services offered to the state government. Perhaps, this is high point of his life.
