New Delhi: A desperate government’s efforts failed on Friday to achieve any breakthrough with Baba Ramdev deciding to go ahead with his indefinite fast here from Saturday amidst indications that a compromise was likely in a day or two.

For nearly five hours, two senior union ministers Kapil Sibal and Subodh Kant Sahay negotiated with the yoga guru over his demands on eradication of corruption at a posh hotel, a venue totally different from Delhi airport where two days ago these two ministers with two others had attempted to placate him.

After the talks, Sibal said, “We had constructive dialogue on several issues and the government has addressed all the issues Baba has raised in writing. Most of these issues are of national concern and the government is already seized of many of them”. (PTI)
