"It does not matter whether the Prime Minister is a Hindu, Muslim or Christian...All I expect from a person occupying the post is that he or she should be committed to deliver justice to the people and the country," he said.
Ramdev was replying to a question whether Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi or his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar was more suitable for the top job.
It does not matter if the Prime Minister happens to be a Hindu, Muslim or Christian or liberal person, the yoga guru said, adding, all that matters is that the PM should bring back black money stashed abroad and work to build an equitable society and not the kind where only capitalists and expansionists forces have a say.
In an indirect dig at the Congress party for trying to malign his image over his crusade for return of black money from abroad, he said it was regrettable that anybody who speaks for the people gets branded as a traitor.
"People like me have been branded as traitors by the adversaries as a price for raising public issues," Ramdev said, adding that he was unmindful of the scorn heaped on him by the detractors and will continue to speak against corruption, loot of public wealth, economic mismanagement and prevalence of injustice and inequity in the society.
