Q: Why does someone need to have a political opinion ?

Ans :  We pay around 50 % of our earnings as taxes directly or indirectly and politicians are supposed to ensure they are used for better good. Its your tax money used for repairing those potholed roads you travel everyday, taking care of water supply , electricity supply and sewage supply for your house, ensuring that your safety is taken care by law enforcement agencies, provides scholarships to your children’s education and much more .Don’t you think its YOUR duty to ensure politics are good and your money is accountable.

Q: What is Loksatta Party ?

Ans : Loksatta Party is founded by Dr.Jayaprakash Narayan , an IAS officer who served as Andhra Pradesh state secretary and his accolades and accomplishments are extraordinary.

He started Loksatta as an NGO for electoral and public policy reforms. This wiki page provides you with ton of information and you must look at the party website .This NGO was transformed to a political party in 2006.

It can easily be said as a pioneer for clean politics for this new generation.

Q: Why was an NGO turned to a political party when it was doing a good job ?

Ans : Loksatta NGO was turned to a political party for better good. An NGO has limitations on lawmaking. You can take up an issue , take it to law makers but cannot ensure  steps to be taken to mitigate an issue. 

A public society opinion is only considered when the issue is serious and also mostly for political mileages.

This was the same reason Anna-Kejriwal from IAC had to form a political party called AamAadmi party by Kejriwal . Rest is all the recent news.

Q: What makes me think Loksatta is better and apart from all political parties ?

Ans : Loksatta Party has strong ethical principles, extraordinary track record as an NGO,an excellent dedicated cadre and most importantly a practical visionary agenda.

In the past 5 years where Dr.JP has been a elected MLA , he has taken up to light on some of the most demanding issues .
