Launching a blistering attack at certain gurus and babas, Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Prasad on Thursday sought a probe into assets of these 'high profile saints'.

"Assets of all these 'hi-fi' saints should be probed,' Prasad said addressing a function to mark 125th anniversary of Dalit icon B R Ambedkar in Patna.

Describing Baba Ramdev as a 'capitalist and industrialist of the country', he said, "Earlier he used to praise Mulayam Singh Yadav but now he has gone to Narendra Modi and the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party)."

He also castigated Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravishankar for his recent comment that those who do not love the country should go out of it.

"On what basis he assessed that somebody does not love his country?" he asked.

"All these saints and Babas are making fool of people in the garb of religion,' he said.

Attacking the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Prasad charged them with being 'anti-Dalit and anti-minorities'.
