To express solidarity with Baba Ramdev's agitation against corruption, senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj left for Haridwar to meet the yoga guru on Wednesday.
Swaraj, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, left for Haridwar in the morning and is likely to meet the yoga guru this afternoon, party sources said.
While BJP has scoffed at suggestions that Ramdev's agitation had the backing of it or RSS, the party has maintained that it supported the “spirit” of the campaigns being led by Ramdev and Anna Hazare.
On Sunday, BJP had launched a nation-wide 24-hour-long agitation against police crackdown on Ramdev supporters and corruption even as it asked the government to bring back black money parked abroad.
Several BJP leaders led by party president Nitin Gadkari and Parliamentary Party Chairman L K Advani sat on a strike at Rajghat.
