Yoga Guru Ramdev says he has not yet taken a call on contesting elections, but will field candidates in all the seats for the next Lok Sabha elections.

Ramdev, who was here to participate in a school function yesterday, targeted the UPA government for not keeping the prices of essential commodities in check and alleged: "The intention of the government is very much doubtful towards poors and farmers".

"No doubt Manmohan Singh is a good economist and he understands perfectly the growth rate, but he does not understand the economics of Dal-Roti (cereals and bread)," he told reporters.

He said common men eats bread and not the growth rate, which has no role in the life of those who live below poverty line.

The Yoga Guru told PTI that he will field candidates in the 2014 general elections but not yet decided on his own candidature. He advocated reforms in the administrative system of the country.

Ramdev has already launched Bharat Swabhiman campaign with an aim to end corrupt practices, bring back the Indian black money and use it for the development of the nation besides changing the system that has been continuing since the British period, among others.
