‘No Modi if No Mandir’: Computer Baba

Npnews24 online: Hundreds of sadhus Tuesday trooped to the Madhya Pradesh capital to seek votes for the Congress Lok Sabha candidate Digvijaya Singh and campaign against BJP nominee Pragya Singh Thakur. Namdev Tyagi alias Computer Baba, they will camp in Bhopal for three days. They undertook Hath Yoga Tuesday, followed by a road show.

Hath Yoga involves ‘asanas’ (positions) that help in relaxing and breathing control. Computer Baba was bestowed minister of state status by the then BJP-led government in Madhya Pradesh and appointed on a panel to clean the Narmada.

Self-styled godman, who was recently appointed chairman of a river trust by the Congress government in the state, extended his support to Digvijaya Singh, the Congress’ Bhopal Lok Sabha seat candidate.

They (BJP) have fooled people. They have not even spared the saint community. They talked of Ram temple; they have not constructed it in five years and have come back with the same issue. The public won’t be fooled now. No temple, no Modi,”he said.

At the ritual, Digvijaya Singh was seen dressed in a white kurta pyjama and seated on the ground, while the sadhus formed a semi-circle near him.
