Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit today said corruption can be eliminated when all Indians decide to lead a simple life.
"How to eliminate corruption? The moment all Indians, we decide to lead a simple life...simple living," he said, addressing an event.
Even Mahatma Gandhi had spoken about the importance of leading a simple life, the Governor said, adding simple living and high thinking was needed for the progress of the country.
"Everybody should be satisfied," he said addressing a function held by the United Writers' Association and the Frank Moraes Foundation.
Rather than aspiring for a costly, luxurious car,it would be better to stay with a "Maruti" car and by imbibing such an attitude of simple living with satisfation, corruption can be eliminated, he said.
"For everybody I am telling, lead a simple life.. practice it."
