Yoga guru Ramdev today created a row when he said he would like to see both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik work in tandem for the larger benefit of the people.

The statement sparked a sharp reaction in the ruling BJD.

Senior minister and BJD vice-president Damador Rout asked Ramdev to quit yoga and join politics.

Earlier he said his Patanjali Yogpeeth was contemplating setting up a Acharyakulam (a school based on vedic-cum-modern education) and Yoga university in Odisha in the next two years.

He is here to attend a convention of Patanjali distributors.
