Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev today said he would launch a new political outfit within next two years.

Ramdev said the prime ministerial candidate for the party he proposed to be float would be announced after two years, but he did not dream of becoming prime minister.

Congratulating Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the NDA's landslide victory in the Bihar assembly elections, Ramdev said it was the vote for development.

Ramdev urged Nitish Kumar to take steps for weeding out corruption, which he said was the root of all problems facing the people.
