Speaking about the objectives of the Yoga Patanjali Samithi, he said that the samithi wants yoga and its benefits to reach each and every person in India. He said that the members of the samithi have gone to Delhi to participate in the protest.

Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, the president of the DK district Kannada Sahitya Parishad, said that people from all over the country should support Baba Ramdev.
