Video Click to play video New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev is set to make a major announcement on the next step of his agitation on Sunday. Ramdev had deferred by a day the "big" announcement on the next course of his agitation on blackmoney and Lokpal Bill as former Army chief General VK Singh is expected to share the stage with him at Ramlila Maidan where Ramdev has been protesting for the past four days.

"Tomorrow there will be an announcement on the big revolution to be staged in the country. We are waiting (for government response) till this evening. Many things will happen tomorrow not only in Ramlila Maidan here but across the country," he told his supporters.

Ramdev ended his fast on Saturday but vowed to continue the agitation against black money and for a strong Lokpal Bill till August 30. Ramdev had said that he will knock on the door of President Pranab Mukherjee next if the Centre doesn't act.

General Singh, who spoke at Team Anna's indefinite fast before ending it, will join the yoga guru at the protest venue on Sunday.

Media was heckled at the venue as angry supporters objected to what they alleged was biased coverage of the protest. The crowd had dwindled from over 20,000 on the first day to less than half on the third day.

Earlier in the day, he said, "we will wait till evening (to hear from the government on our demands). Our three day deadline ends then. After that period is over, a roar will arise from this very Ramlila Maidan.

"We have not been taking names. But after then, we will take names who were in fault in this looting of country's wealth," he said.

Ramdev also said he will submit support letters collected from gram sabhas and MPs to President Pranab Mukherjee and urge him to put pressure on government to act.
