NEW DELHI: The revelation of a note from the Baba Ramdev's aide, Acharya Balkrishan, by Union Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal — a key negotiator — was clearly an error of judgment. The note said that the yoga guru would announce at noon on Saturday that he would sit in meditation only from June 4 to 6 as the government had taken his demands seriously

Earlier, a beleaguered government, under pressure from the party, and an object of ridicule in public for its “weakness,” had decided that if the yoga guru did not make a public announcement on Saturday, then the note would be its weapon to discredit him. But Baba Ramdev's phone call to Mr Sibal, even as the press conference was to commence, obviated the necessity for such a revelation.
Sibal's warning
In a telephonic conversation even his press conference was to commence, Mr. Sibal told Baba Ramdev, sources said, that he might be forced to reveal the contents of the letter if the latter did not himself publicly announce that his hunger strike would end on June 6. In response, the latter said the government would first have to assure him it would pass an ordinance to tackle black money, as thus far it had only promised him a committee to look at the issue.
Whatever, still both U-Turn UPA and Flip-Flop Ramdev need to explain to people why they failed to inform the people at large on such critical issue, affecting the whole of nation and only used their secret deals and written agreements as means of discrediting each other and in the bargain allowed a mass frenzy to be built up in favour of continues fast-onto-death act.
