HARDOI: Stating that Jan Lokpal Bill is a small step in the whole process of getting rid of corruption, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev expressing confidence on Friday said we can get rid of hundred percent corruption in the country through a change in economic policies and formulation of laws.

Addressing a gathering here, Ramdev said Jan Lokpal Bill will help in reduce corruption among those sitting at top government posts to some extent.

"There are more than ten crore government officials in the country of we combine all those working at the Centre and in various State Governments. How will one Lokpal have control over all of them? So, Lokpal is a step in the whole process of getting rid of corruption. We can control corruption to some extent at the higher level through Lokpal," said Ramdev.




"For that we will have to take a bigger step, we will have to change the economic policies. If we bring a change in our economic policies and formulate laws, we can get rid of hundred percent corruption in the country and all the illegal wealth stashed abroad can be brought back to the country," he added.

Ramdev further said the Parliament will have to play a prominent role in this whole process of getting rid of corruption and bringing back all the illegal wealth stashed in safe havens abroad.

"Third question arises as to who will do this. In a democratic political system, only the Parliament has this power. We will have to send the people in the Parliament. So, we have taken the path of awakening the people of the country. The people of the country have now woke up and come to know the power of the country," said Ramdev.

"The day we recognize the power of the country and the power beneath us, that day India will be all ready to lead the whole world," he added.

Throwing another salvo at the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government at the Centre over the death of his aide Rajbala, Ramdev further said: "People, who have been responsible for murders and looting the wealth, members of such political outfits should not reach either the Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha. If you send such people to the Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha, you be cheating the whole country, your motherland."
