[LOKSATTA NELLORE] BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!! AP Government officially...

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

AP Government officially lifts ban on Farm exports in Andhra Pradesh!!

VICTORY FOR FARMERS!
VICTORY FOR HOPE!
VICTORY FOR EMPOWERMENT!
VICTORY FOR CLEAN POLITICS!!

Thank you Dr JP!
Thanks to FIFA!
Thanks to entire Farming Community!
Thank you all!!

Today in the assembly all parties came together in support of what Dr JP has been fighting for, the lift on the ban on rice exports to other states. This is a huge win for farmers where they can get approximately Rs 200 more per bag. Rs 200 per bag will make a world of difference in the lives of farmers (approximately about Rs 6,000 per acre per crop)

The significance of the Raithu Satyagraha Yatra is 1) this is the first time LSP has taken a praja poratam of this kind, where Dr JP broke the law, and got ready to get arrested. 2) Unlike other parties, Dr JP under the banner of FIFA, has taken up a very specific actionable item, which makes a significance difference by just cancelling a GO. 3) Last but not the least my friends, you all came together to make a difference when it really mattered, and contributed in many ways.

Vote for Lok Satta and herald New politics: Dr. JP

Posted: 27 Feb 2012 07:02 AM PST

The Lok Satta Party today appealed to people to support it with "votes, notes and seats" in the March 18 by-elections to the State Assembly and give a fillip to the party's determination to usher in people-centric politics.

Addressing a media conference, Lok Satta Party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan said that although the party is fielding its candidates only in two constituencies – Kovur and Mahabubnagar, their success will have a great impact on the shape of things to come in State politics. "The outcome will not result in a change of Government. But the by-elections provide a golden opportunity for people to give vent to their pent up feelings on the rotten state of politics in the State."

Dr. JP said that people of the State are thirsting for corruption-free politics and rule of law, fair and remunerative prices for farmers for their produce, a complete overhaul of the present liquor policy which has resulted in thousands of women becoming widows and children orphans, and a bright future for the youth.

People can realize their dreams only when they vote for a party which gives expression to their inner most sentiments, Dr. JP said and recalled what Abraham Lincoln had said, "Public opinion is everything. With public opinion, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed."

Dr. JP underlined that Lok Satta candidates can win only when people vote for them and not when they refrain contending that the candidates cannot win. He likened the mainstream political parties to wolves fighting for the right to devour innocent lambs and asked people to vote for the Lok Satta and lay the foundation for ushering in an era of people-centered politics. He appealed to the youth, women, farmers and students to spare their time and work for the success of the Lok Satta Party.

Dr. JP introduced Mr. Mohd Ghouse Moinuddin, a 44-year-old educationist, as the party's candidate for Mahabubnagar Assembly by-election. Nellore Narasaiah is the candidate for Kovur Assembly by-election. In reply to a question, the party did not go into the caste or community of candidates while selecting them.

Dr. JP said in reply to a question that seizure of Rs.30 lakh cash from a vehicle in Mahabubnagar constituency is no news since it merely brings to light the tendency of mainstream parties to win elections at any cost.

Asked to comment on Mr. Arvind Kejriwal's comment that a number of MPs are rapists and murderers, Dr. JP said that civil rights activists committed to changing politics should refrain from making sweeping remarks and practice restraint.

The Lok Satta Party has constituted two teams to work for the party's success in Kovur and Mahabhubnagar.

The Kovur team comprises Messrs D. V. V. S. Varma, Katari Srinivasa Rao, Bhisetty Babji, A. Ramesh Reddy and Narra Sridhar.

The Mahabubnagar team comprises Messrs Ravi Maruth, V. Lsxamn Balaji, G. Raja Reddy, Bandaru Ramamohana Rao and V. Vijayender Reddy.

Messrs D. V. V. S. Varma, V. Ramachandraiaah, and B. Rami Reddy took part in the media conference.

FIFA satyagraha yatra begins on 25th Feb

Posted: 24 Feb 2012 04:01 AM PST

The Federation of Independent Farmers' Associations (FIFA) is launching a farmers' satyagraha yatra from Nizamabad district in Andhra Pradesh tomorrow (February 25) to Nanded district in Maharashtra to assert farmers' right to sell paddy and rice outside the State.

It may be recalled that FIFA had defied Andhra Pradesh Government restrictions on movement of fine varieties of paddy and rice outside the State by marching into Karnataka and undertaking sales on February 19.

Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, President of FIFA and the Lok Satta Party, will lead the satyagraha yatra from Pocharam village in Nizamabad district at 10-00 a.m. tomorrow.

The farmers will reach Bodhan for the night after touching Nagireddipet, Ellareddy, Banswada, Varni and Rudrur en route

They will resume the yatra from Bodhan at 9-00 a.m. on February 26 and pass through Kotagiri, Yettonda, Pentakurru, Salampadu and Salur, anad cross the border check-post at Salur. They will undertake sale of paddy at Esgi in Nanded district of Maharashtra around 1-30 p.m. on February 26.

According to Lok Satta Party Working President D. V. V. S. Varma, the farmers have launched the movement to protest against the ruinous policy of the Andhra Pradesh Government which would neither ensure the minimum support price nor allow farmers to sell paddy outside the State. The Andhra Pradesh Government's restrictions are illegal and run counter to Government of India directives, he says.

Farmers cutting across party lines are joining the movement. The Shetkari Sanghatan of Maharashtra too has extended its support to the yatra.

Dr. JP will be addressing public meetings and interacting with farmers at a number of places during the road show.

Lok Satta and FIFA hails NREGS extension to agriculture

Posted: 23 Feb 2012 05:22 AM PST

The Lok Satta Party and the Federation of Independent Farmers' Associations (FIFA) today welcomed the Union Rural Development Ministry decision to bring 30 kinds of agricultural operations under the purview of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).

In a media statement, Lok Satta Party Working President D. V. V. S. Varma recalled that it was the Lok Satta Party and FIFA under the leadership of Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan which had first sought NREGS extension to the agriculture sector.

The measure will facilitate extension of a little investment subsidy to the farmer and provide relief to the crisis-ridden agriculture sector, said Mr. Varma.

He suggested that the NREGS allocate funds for 20 work days per acre and not merely 12 days as proposed to cover operations like sowing, weeding, application of fertilizer and pesticides and land leveling. The scheme should benefit farmers as well as tenants.

If farmers are united and have credible leaders, they can forge many victories in their battle for a better deal, Mr. Varma said.

Dr.JP's Appeal to Friends and Concerned Citizens

Posted: 22 Feb 2012 09:07 PM PST

Dear friends and concerned citizens,

When we started Lok Satta many years ago, it was like many civil society movements today. However, it became apparent over time that in order to bring about the change all of us are fighting for in our different ways, we have to operate in the political spaces as well, or else we will not be effective.

This goes against a lot of our sentiments about politics, but it is the bitter truth.

In more recent times, the fight against corruption run by so many organisations and groups across India has seen such massive public support, especially from the middle class, that many a political observer was surprised. This in turn has galvanised many Citizen Candidates into joining electoral battle in the recently concluded municipal elections in Mumbai and elsewhere. This trend will endure.

But let us also do better. While the 5-7% vote share these candidates collected is impressive for a first attempt, it is also clear that this could have been higher. The public perception of a splintered 'front' kept many Citizen Candidates from making the full impact that the crowds in anti-corruption rallies indicated.

We've been fragmented by the multiplicity of platforms, causing some confusion and maybe even suspicion of the new 'brands' that have suddenly cropped up for elections.

We can and must overcome this. Lok Satta is not only a party created out of an Andolan, but it also has a constitution that is tailor-made for all those who are fighting for open, transparent, equitable and clean government at all levels. Lok Satta has been designed to be an inclusive platform for all Indians seeking political transformation. It has always been recognized and acknowledged that Lok Satta is not owned by current members; it belongs to all India. The members and leaders at any point of time are humble custodians of a national platform. 'Nation above party; and party above self' is the motto of Lok Satta. Membership has to be open, and leadership has to be by democratic choice at all levels. Each of us can proudly call this our own platform.

The next round is to be played out in Delhi a few weeks from now. The lessons of Mumbai should not be forgotten, nor the fragmentation repeated in Delhi and elsewhere. It's time to act as one force. I am therefore inviting all our friends fighting for the same ideals to unite in the Lok Satta family.

Our internal democracy is a functioning, thriving culture and is just the platform on which all of us in civil society can join hands in the political arena. Our blemish-free past combined with our growing brand recognition in several states will enable all of us to hit the road running in the next round of elections and beyond.

Come, join us. We welcome you with open arms, recognising ourselves in each of you. We welcome not merely your support, but equally your passion and leadership to augment ours. There is too much to do; and too few of us willing to do it on a sustained basis. Let's fight together and do justice to our noble cause: Clean, Transparent, Equitable and Participative democratic government, and the promise of building a great new India together.

With warm regards,

Dr Jayaprakash Narayan
Lok Satta

FIFA to defy Government orders and Sell paddy in Maharashtra

Posted: 22 Feb 2012 07:49 AM PST

The Federation of Independent Farmers' Associations (FIFA) will once again be defying Andhra Pradesh Government restrictions on movement of fine varieties of paddy and rice outside the State by undertaking sales in Maharashtra on February 26.

It may be recalled that FIFA had defied the curbs and undertook sales in Karnataka on February 19.

Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, President of FIFA and the Lok Satta Party, will lead the satyagraha movement from Pocharam village in Nizamabad district to Esgi in Nanded district of Maharashtra on February 25.

Giving this information at a media conference, Lok Satta Party Working President D. V. V. S. Varma said that the Andhra Pradesh Government would neither ensure the minimum support price for paddy, leave alone a fair and remunerative price, nor allow farmers to sell their produce outside the State where prices are ruling higher by about Rs.200 a bag. As a result of the State Government's ruinous policy, farmers have lost hundreds of crores of rupees in the last couple of years.

Mr. Varma pointed out that the State Government restrictions run contrary to Government of India directives.

Although FIFA had openly and publicly defied its orders, the somnolent State Government would neither lift restrictions nor arrest its violators, charged Mr. Varma.

Mr. Varma appealed to farmers to take part in the satyagraha movement cutting across party lines and added that the Shetkari Sanghatan of Maharashtra will participate it.

The farmers will set off from Pocharam village at 9-00 a.m. on February 25 and reach Bodhan for the night touching Yellareddy and Banswada en route. They will resume their journey from Bodhan at 9-00 a.m. on February 26, cross the border check-post at Saluru and undertake sale of paddy through auction at Esgi village in Nanded district. Dr. JP will be addressing and interacting with farmers during the satyagraha movement.

Mr. Varma disclosed that FIFA would repeat its violation of the illegal Andhra Pradesh Government orders by undertaking paddy sales in both Tamil Nadu and Orissa too.

Mr. Varma said that since the satyagraha movement has nothing to do with the impending by-elections, the election code does not apply to it.

Mr. V. Laxman Balaji, Lok Satta Party General Secretary, Mrs. N. Sarojadevi, Mahila Satta President, and M. Satyanarayana, Greater Hyderabad Lok Satta President, took part in the media conference.
