2. 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 much more .Dont
you think its YOUR duty to ensure politics are good and your money is
accountable.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 .
Search for “Jayaprakash Narayan in Assembly” in YouTube and you can see the action
first hand. One sample video on YouTube. You can check out the 50 guarantees of

Please take time to read them. And what not, the office bearers are chosen by internal
democracy. You vote who takes care of party.
