As the country gave a clear mandate to BJP, yoga guru Ramdev returned to his ashram, Patanjali Yogapeet, here after serving his self-imposed exile of about nine months, on Monday. He had declared in September that he would return only after a government led by Narendra Modi would replace the UPA. The yoga guru reached Narsan on the Delhi-Haridwar highway around 1 p.m. But it took him about three hours to reach the city as he was welcomed by enthusiastic crowds on the way.
