Act on CAG report and punish the Guilty: Dr. JP

Posted: 30 Mar 2012 06:28 AM PDT

The Lok Satta Party today charged the Government with presenting the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on gross irregularities in land allocations deliberately on the last day of the Assembly's budget session with a view to avoiding a discussion.

In a media statement, Lok Satta Party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan disclosed that the CAG had submitted the report on Government land allocations between 2006 and 2011 several months ago.

Dr. JP faulted the Government for its indifference to allegations of corruption and irregularities in land allocations and treating it as a matter to be looked into by the Supreme Court or the CBI. The State Government is duty bound to order an inquiry, identify officials and people's representatives guilty of either indulging in corruption and irregularities or abetting them, and initiate action against them. Instead, the Government is turning a blind eye to unbridled loot of public resources and indirectly licensing corruption.

Dr. JP recalled that the Lok Satta Party and other Opposition parties had exposed in the Assembly how the Government sacrificed public interest in land allocations. The CAG report has merely confirmed their charges by adducing additional evidence.

Dr. JP demanded that the CAG report be brought under the purview of the proposed House committee to review land allotments.

The Government should announce a land and natural resource allotment policy anchored in transparency, competition and public interest. It should not give scope for loot of natural resources in future, Dr. JP added.

Chandrababu has spilled electoral Beans: Lok Satta

Posted: 28 Mar 2012 09:45 AM PDT

Telugu Desam Party President N. Chandrababu Naidu has let the cat out of the bag when he openly admitted that his party found contesting by-elections tough as it has been out of power for eight years, said the Lok Satta Party today.

By inference Mr. Chandrababu conceded that a party in power which amassed illegal money had no problem in squandering it in elections, pointed out Lok Satta Party General Secretary Katari Srinivasa Rao in a media statement.

The TDP, given to distributing illegal money in sachets, feels outsmarted by the YSR Congress, which doles out money in bags. Mr. Chandrababu seems to be pouring out his agony over the YSR Congress and the Congress Party now in power spending huge amounts in elections.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind. If Andhra Pradesh has become notorious for splurging black money in elections, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu is one of those who have to share the blame. That all traditional parties including the TDP spent Rs.70 crore in the recent by-election to the Kovur Assembly seat is an open secret. Cash worth millions of rupees was seized from a TDP leader's residence. Media reports talked of the traditional parties spending up to Rs.200 crore in the seven by-elections to the Assembly.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao recalled that no traditional party including the TDP has so far responded to the Lok Satta call for abjuring distribution of money and liquor in elections. If Mr. Chandrababu is sincere and serious, he should join hands with the Lok Satta Party for cleansing the political and electoral system.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao appealed to media and civil society to ponder wherefrom parties like the Congress, TDP and YSR Congress raised money for holding meetings and rallies, and distributing money and liquor during elections.

Don't resort to suicide for Telangana, Appeals Lok Satta Party

Posted: 26 Mar 2012 06:45 AM PDT

The Lok Satta Party today appealed to youth to fight for formation of a separate Telangana State constitutionally and not resort to suicide.

Conveying the party's deep condolences to the families of Bojya Naik and Rajamouli, who ended their lives in the Telangana cause, Lok Satta Party Working President D. V. V. S. Varma appealed to all political parties to discuss the issue in the legislature and not exploit it for gaining publicity and political mileage.

Mr. Varma pointed out in a media statement that the Lok Satta has all along suggested that the Legislature arrive at a solution acceptable to all after a thorough debate. Unfortunately, both the ruling and Opposition parties have been evasive on the suggestion.

The Lok Satta would like legislators to discuss the issue keeping in mind the aspirations and fears of people of the two regions, work out a solution and make their recommendations to the Union Government. The Congress and the Telugu Desam Party should take the initiative and exert pressure on Delhi towards resolution of the problem.

Mr. Varma said that Telangana would not have become a running sore resulting in youth ending their lives had politicians behaved responsibly.

Dr. JP hopes for a Change in Nature of Politics in Nandana

Posted: 22 Mar 2012 06:23 AM PDT

Conveying his greetings to people on the eve of Telugu New Year, Lok Satta party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan today hoped that 'Nandana' at least will herald a fundamental change in the nature of politics and makes it relevant to people's lives.

In a media statement, Dr. JP pointed out that while people are dreaming of a bright future, politics is reminding them of the bitter past. While people want to soar to great heights, politics is dragging them back to middle-ages by denying young people opportunities. There is thus a disconnect between people and politics.

Dr. JP said that the situation can be retrieved because Indian youth are adventurous, innovative, confident and idealistic. They are building a new world unrecognizable to the earlier generation. They are the great source of our hope in future, he added.

A vote against status quo: Dr. JP

Posted: 21 Mar 2012 06:43 AM PDT

Lok Satta Party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan said today that the by-elections to the seven Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh demonstrated that the people rejected the status quo but were not looking for an alternative. They roundly rejected the Congress and the Telugu Desam which between them have ruled Andhra Pradesh for three decades.

In a media statement, Dr. JP pointed out that the Lok Satta Party earnestly attempted to convey its message and sought people's support for its agenda in the form of votes. "The political polarization in the State is so intense that there is no space for rational voices or ethical politics now."

Unfazed by the election outcome, the Lok Satta will do its utmost to protect democratic values.

"Nothing short of a miracle can prevent Andhra Pradesh from becoming the saddest example of decline in politics. Decades of cynical politics, corruption, intense polarization and power without purpose have led to a grave crisis.

"But miracles do not happen on their own; they should be made to happen. That is possible only when saner elements in all parties and concerned citizens including middle classes, women and youth introspect over the parlous state of politics and join hands to reverse the process. The election results should serve as a wake up call", added Dr. JP.
