"If he had to continue his agitation then he should not have broken his fast. And if he had kept a fast for some demands then he should not have broken it without its fulfilment. It was all a nautanki," said the Congress general secretary.

He added, "Ramdev had done his work, now government agencies will do their work."

The former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh did not forget to target the Bharatiya Janata Party for supporting the yoga guru.

"The BJP which had supported Ramdev also did not get anything from it."

Singh also commented on social activist Anna Hazare on the occasion.

"Anna Hazare should also not go on fast and participate constructively in the drafting committee of the lokpal bill."

He said the yoga guru should reveal the name of the person who "secretly donated" a helicopter to him.

"He is bringing secret donations under the tax-free category, making them white, and accumulating huge capital," Singh said.
