PATANJALI, HARIDWAR: Baba Ramdev's hunger strike and anti-corruption appears to be limping on its last leg. Contradicting earlier reports of rapid weight loss of almost 5 kilograms till yesterday, the official medical bulletin has a loss of 1.5 kilograms.

Briefing the media, the chief medical officer of the government hospital, Dr Yogesh Chand Sharma said that there are only two persons fasting - Acharya Balkrishna and Baba Ramdev. "The rest have been fed," he added.

Speakers at the yogasthal, were primarily sanyasis from Haryana, his home state who voiced support. The scene was turning into a more organised campaign within the Patanjali campus. Records have been kept of all attendees and supporters. The only voice for this campaign is the electronic media whose flashes are closely monitored by the organizers.
