Under attack for possessing vast wealth, spiritual guru Ramdev today declared his assets, a move that gave rise to more doubts.

Ramdev, however, remained mute when he was repeatedly quizzed about the number of companies he possessed.
He said the medicines manufactured by the trusts were being sold 25-100 per cent cheaper than those companies which have been for long in the market. “All our medicines are being sold in the market at much cheaper rates than others,” he emphasised.
Both Balkrishna and Ramdev denied reports of them having grabbed 120 bighas of land in Haridwar belonging to farmers. When asked about the income tax paid by his trusts, Ramdev did not give a direct reply. Meanwhile, he has agreed to take honey and lemonade on the advice of doctors, after he lost six kilograms of weight in his ongoing hunger strike.
