"He first emerged as a Yoga teacher and it became a mass movement in India. At that time it seemed he is just a Yoga teacher but he was also a social activist. Swami Ji emerged as a voice of those oppressed due to corruption," added Jaitley.
BJP President Arun Jaitley said that Swami Ramdev gave the option of 'swadeshi' to the nation.
"In a short life, Baba Ramdev revived Yoga and Ayurveda not only in India but in the entire world at a time when it was almost forgotten. He gave the option of 'swadeshi' to the nation by the means of Patanjali," said Amit Shah.
Made on a budget of over Rs 80 crore, 'Swami Ramdev: Ek Sangharsh' comprises 85 episodes, which will air on 'Discovery JEET', the new entertainment channel from Discovery India.
