Revealed: Why Centre changed its Ramdev stance - Rediff.com News

Revealed: Why Centre changed its Ramdev stance - Rediff.com News: "At the Congress' core group meeting last week, Congress president Sonia Gandhi is believed to have asked Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee why he went to the airport to receive yoga guru Baba Ramdev.

She could understand others going but not Pranab.

The finance minister reportedly replied that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had asked him to go and that this was the decision of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs.

This conversation took place in the presence of the prime minister, and there was speculation afterwards whether her query was a way of expressing her unhappiness with Dr Singh on the way the Ramdev affair had been managed"
