# Himachal CM Sukhu backs Ramdev to lead anti-corruption drive 2026-08-16T18:17:18+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has said Yoga guru Baba Ramdev should lead a nationwide movement against corruption. The remark comes after Ramdev warned the Narendra Modi government about student protests and said agitation could intensify if the Centre does not fix what he called the 'ghapla' (scam) soon. Deccan Herald reports that Sukhu's statement appears to endorse Ramdev's recent criticism of the central government. The Chief Minister did not specify which scam or issue he was referring to. Ramdev has previously been a vocal critic of the Modi administration on matters of governance and alleged corruption. The Yoga guru's warning on Saturday raised political temperatures, with the opposition and ruling party trading barbs over the handling of student unrest. No date has been set for any further protest or action by Ramdev. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
