BABA RAMDEV to set a world record this weekend by practising yoga with millions of other people,

An Indian guru said Friday he hopes to set a world record this weekend by practising yoga with millions of other people, including opposition election frontrunner Narendra Modi.

Swami Ramdev, who heads a huge yoga empire and is a household name in India, has thrown his support behind Modi, the prime ministerial candidate for the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, tipped to win the polls due to kick off next month.

Ramdev tweeted that “100 million people will do yoga together on March 23” and asked people whether they would join in and become “a part of the history.”
