HYDERABAD: Implementation of Lokpal Bill cannot root out corruption as it talks about graft in politics and administration, felt Tushar Gandhi, great grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and author of 'Let's Kill Gandhi'."In fact, corruption is existing at every step of our daily life," he said.He was the chief guest at the Mahatma Gandhi memorial lecture conducted by Sarvodaya International Trust AP Chapter in collaboration with the Administrative Staff College of India here on Saturday.Tushar felt corruption cannot be eliminated from the society just by imposing some rules and restrictions."Morality should be observed at individual-level.Then alone can we expect a change in the society," he pointed out."Since April, people have been calling social activist Anna Hazare as second Gandhi stating that he has been fighting against corruption in Gandhian style by doing satyagraha.But he is a lone crusader against corruption and is surrounded by the most corrupt politicians and bureaucrats without moralities.We cannot compare Anna with Gandhi," he said."Gandhi, during national movement, had people of high morality around him.But now there are no such people, particularly in Anna's team.Firstly, we should be honest and then think of the society," Tushar said.Personal moralities are very important for an individual and for a better society, he observed.
