A total of 100 crore people, including farmers, retail traders and their families, would be affected by the UPA government decision, Ramdev said after launching a nationwide "Swadeshi" movement from Libberhedi village near Haridwar yesterday.

"I have a list of one thousand scams of Congress led UPA government," he said.

Ramdev also slammed the Congress for the alleged scam in coal blocks allocation, and said, "I am firm on the issue of black money and corruption, and we will defeat those who oppose us on these matters in elections."

"In the next general elections, we will send at least four hundred MPs to the Parliament," he said.

The yoga teacher did not rule out forming his own party. On the issue he said, "wait for three-four month things would be clear."
