<p>A day after the Union cabinet approved the <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Lokpal-Bill">Lokpal Bill</a> leaving CBI out of its purview, Hazare said the ombudsman would not be strong and effective if the premier investigation agency was not kept under it. <br /> <br /> "If the CBI is outside then how will the Lokpal be strong. This system will save corrupt politicians. If CBI comes under Lokpal then P <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Chidambaram">Chidambaram</a> would be in jail. You are saving corrupt politicians and say it is a strong Lokpal," he said. <br /> <br /> Rejecting the Bill, Hazare also took strong exception to government bringing a separate Citizens' Charter Bill, saying a common man will have to run from pillar to post to get his grievances redressed under the proposed system. <br /> <br /> "It is cheating people who will teach them a lesson," Hazare said. <br /> <br /> "How can the Lokpal be effective when Citizens Charter is out of its purview. A person will have to go through various levels for redressal of his grievances. What to do? Its like fooling people," he said. <br /> <br /> The activist said he will visit all five poll-bound states and let people know about the misdeeds of the government. "Ahead of general election, we will visit the whole country and tell people about the government," he said. <br /> <br /> The 74-year-old activist has already announced that he will go ahead with his planned fast from December 27 for three days followed by a 'jail bharo' agitation.</p>
