Dr Asha Mathur, Uttarakhand’s director-general of health services, said “an infection has also been found in his urine”. A close aide of Ramdev, Swami Sampoornand, claimed the yoga practitioner had gone into an “unconscious state”. A Patanjali spokesperson claimed the decision to shift Ramdev to hospital was taken by Ramesh Pokhriyal, the chief minister of the state’s BJP government whose party has been backing the yoga practitioner’s agitation against black money and corruption. But many supporters at the ashram were unhappy. They clashed with police as he was being wheeled into an ambulance, triggering a commotion that prompted the ashram authorities to intervene and resolve the standoff. The doctors attending to Ramdev this morning had recommended hospitalisation on a “priority basis” and tried to persuade him to break his fast, but he rejected the advice. By evening, though, the worries about his health appeared to have receded. “Ramdev’s condition is stable. His liver functions are slightly derailed but his kidney is functioning normally. He is conscious. His BP is 110/78 and pulse rate is 60. Ramdev is talking and there is no problem. His health is improving,” Dr Jethani, the hospital superintendent, said.
