Ramadoss gets Ramdev boost in fight for good health

"We've been in touch and we'll work together," Ramadoss told HT.

"Even when I criticised yoga for treating AIDS because of lack of scientific proof, I maintained that Swami Ramdev was doing a public service by promoting this ancient exercise form," said Ramadoss.
