Dubbing Congress as a sinking ship, yoga guru Ramdev today claimed some party ministers and MPs are in touch with him to get BJP tickets for coming Lok Sabha polls.
"Congress is a sinking ship and many of its leaders are trying to move to the (BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra) Modi camp," he told reporters here.
"Many Congress ministers and MPs are in touch with me to get seats from Modi," Ramdev said.
On Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's acceptance that some Congress leaders might have been involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Ramdev said "I personally consider Rahul as an innocent person."
"He is facing the burden of sins of the Congress. I personally feel he spoke the truth," he said.
Asked whether he would contest upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Ramdev said "it is the pledge of Swami Ramdev not to fight any election at all. But, we will decide who will hold these posts."
On activist Anna Hazare, he said "Anna has grown old. We should not trouble him by forcing him to contest elections. He had a big agenda of Lokpal which has been fulfilled.
