Speaking to The Goan soon after meeting the Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar at his Altinho residence, Baba Ramdev said "I have proposed to the Chief Minister that there is ample scope to widen the work of ‘goseva' and yoga and also to give it a professional touch".
While planning to take his yoga movement forward in Goa, Baba Ramdev said there is a mass movement happening across the nation on yoga, ayurveda and swadeshi.

In a major planning and sales exercise, Baba Ramdev also interacted with Patanjali office bearers in a hotel in Panaji throughout the day.
