Yoga guru Ramdev also termed the UPA government\'s white paper on black money a \'lie paper\'.

Answering queries, he said the prime minister was personally honest but he had to display "political and constitutional honesty."

Ramdev said that an agitation would be held on August 9 against black money and corruption.

He said gold accounted for the largest amount of black money in the country and sectors such as real estate and mining also had a large amount of the ill-gotten money.

"The white paper (on black money) is a lie paper", he said.

N Chandrababu Naidu extended his party's support to Ramdev's agitation against black money and corruption.
