The turn of events at New Delhi with police action on yoga guru Baba Ramdev and his followers has turned the attention on the ruling party. Anna Hazare has now announced a hunger strike on Wednesday in protest against the same.

What the government does to get over this ‘corruption’ issue remains to be seen. Nothing can be expected in a hurry even though sporadic incidents of protest and to some extent violence may be seen.

Market may edge lower on weak Asian stocks

The market may extend two days' losses on weak Asian stocks. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 445.26 crore and domestic funds sold shares worth Rs 355.51 crore on Friday, 3 June 2011, as per provisional figures released by the stock exchanges. The key benchmark indices extended losses for the second straight day on Friday, 3 June 2011, on data showing slowdown in growth in the services sector in May 2011.

The police broke up a mass fast against graft led by India's most famous yoga guru Baba Ramdex on Sunday, risking more political headaches for the scandal-tainted government. The campaign by Ramdev, who plans to launch a political party ahead of the 2014 general election, followed allegations of kickbacks at the Commonwealth Games and a telecoms scam that may have cost the government $39 billion. Ramdev accused the police of brutality when they broke up the hunger strike which he and thousands of supporters started in New Delhi on Saturday, 4 June 2011.
