Kolkata: Yoga guru Swami Ramdev today
wished if his skills could weed out corruption in the country.
According to him, emergence of Naxalites and Maoists
is the "result of non-development in many parts of the
country".
"The GDP could be increased six-fold if black money,
stashed away abroad and within the country, was made white,"
Ramdev told a conference of HR professionals here.
"Corruption is the bane of the country. I wish I can
used my yoga to weed out corruption in the country," he said.
"When there is no development, problems like
Naxalites, Maoists and poverty arise," he said, adding it was
a matter of shame that India ranked 134th in the Human
Development Report.
