Bhubaneswar:
Ridiculing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement that money does not grow on trees, yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Friday said money grew under the earth in the form of coal.
"Prime Minister Manmohan Singh knows that money grows under the earth in the form of coal. Therefore, he said that money does not grow in trees," Baba Ramdev said on the sidelines of a function in Bhubaneswar.
Demanding punishment for people involved in alleged irregularities in coal block allocation, Baba Ramdev said, "Coal scam is the biggest ever scam in the world as Rs 400 lakh crore is involved in it."
He also reiterated his demand of bringing back black money stashed abroad.
Replying a question on his 'friend' Naveen Patnaik, Baba Ramdev said "I have no friendship or enmity with anyone. I am a fakir. Whoever is involved in corruption must be punished."
