Ramdev declines Haryana govt's offer of cabinet minister status
Chandigarh, Apr 21 (IBNS): Yoga guru Ramdev on Tuesday declined the status of a cabinet minister in Haryana that was offered by the state government.
He said he wants to remain a "baba."
He made the announcement at a grand function held by the state government to honour him.
Ramdev was made brand ambassador of Haryana earlier this year.
The state government earlier this month decided to give the yoga guru a cabinet minister status.
At present, he is given a car with a beacon, security personnel and an escort vehicle whenever he visits the state.
