LSP will fare better in next LS polls: Jayaprakash
Dr N Jayaprakash Narayan, the sole MP from the Lok Satta Party, has expressed his hopes about a better performance by his party in next General Elections, scheduled to be held in 2014. He said he has already started preparations for it
LOK SATTA Party (LSP), promoted by former IAS officer Dr N Jayaprakash Narayan is not at all disappointed with the Assembly election results in Andhra Pradesh, in which he was the lone winner from his party.
Stating that the response from the people was encouraging, he said he would look forward to the 2014 elections to perform better. He is confident his party would perform extremely well in the next elections. He has now started to prepare the party machinery towards 2014 polls so that to come out as a major political force in the state.
He dismissed charges that the party had split the vote and spoiled the chances of other parties. “People who voted for us voted for change, not on the basis of caste, class or religion. People who level these charges are insulting these voters.”
He invited people to step forward and take up leadership roles in the party. He said that his party had failed to convert the `unparalleled’ support it enjoyed into votes. “We accept the verdict in all humility and refuse to look for alibis,” he said.
As a legislator, he said that he would not indulge in walkouts as a form of protest in the assembly. “Walkout is not the correct method of protest,” he added.
Lok Satta, through it's state-wide movement in Andhra Pradesh, recently offered the best and credible political platform for changing our politics by putting up 248 and 38 candidates for Assembly and Parliament elections. It secured 1.72 per cent of popular votes and one Assembly seat.
Dr Jayaprakash Narayan has called upon all parties to forget the bitterness of the elections and work in a cordial manner. Expressing his displeasure over the swearing-in ceremony of the Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, he said that neither did the opposition parties attend the swearing-in ceremony nor did the ruling party conduct it as a government function, rather, they turned it into a party affair.
Criticising the government proposal to increase the cess on liquor to partially fund Arogyasree, he asked, “Do they realise the irony of making people buy liquor which will spoil their health and then using the money to treat them? I am asking the Chief Minister to stop liquor auctions and belt shops,” he added.
Detailing his plans to attend the public needs in his Kukatpalli constituency, from where he has won with a convincing majority, he said a citizen’s committee would be formed in every division to tackle problems like street-lighting and drains and a Constituency Development Committee for bigger problems. Problems like rowdyism and land encroachments would be addressed through regulatory agencies.
Regarding the transfer of DGP Mohanty, he said, “The government has the authority to transfer officers. An honest, fearless officer like him cannot survive in the current political climate. This points to a deeper crisis in the system.”
Speaking about his pet themes of education and health, Narayan said India deserved hundred per cent universal coverage in both sectors. “The government has to invest in health and education, but competition and choice should be allowed to the customer along with local accountability,” he said.

.JP is not an MP from AP, he is an MLA. Moreover, he has won that seat only because of Telangana and Andhra divisive feelings. He has encashed the large Andhra settlers votes in kukatpally and that is the reason for his standing in kukatpally. I pity those people who still believe him as 'political clenser' . In fact, he is backed by strong capital casteists and regional biased people. He criticizes every leader as if he is the only person with great political traits. But alas! most of the AP people may be illeterates but they are politically prudent enough to deny his so-called Lok Satta the political satta.
.JP is a disgrace to humanity. He is corrupt and a fraudster who is also a castiest. All he knows is how to work with the system and all the loopholes. Open cases against him and the whole world will know him. God bless Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad.
well he does'nt seem to be what you describe,which in any case is in poor taste. if only our elected representatives spare a tenth of their time and effort to the civic needs of their constituencies the people at large would benefit immensely. let's not voice our views just to blurt out venom; it could be constructive and civilised.
.Dr Jayaprakash Narayan is the lone MLA won from LoK Satta Party in Andhra Pradesh, but not MP.
.JP is a true leader with no hidden agend behind him. He is sincere and not biased un-like other leaders.
