Lok Satta Party was launched on October 2, 2006 with the goal of freeing our country from money-and-muscle power politics and ushering in a new, citizen-centered Political Culture founded on the following distinguishing principles:
Most parties are parochial and divisive; Lok Satta Party transcends religion, caste, region, and language.
Self-serving elites dominate our political culture; Lok Satta Party is for dignity, justice and opportunity for all.
Other political parties use illegal money-and-muscle power; we are India’s first mainstream political party to raise and deploy funds totally transparently and legally.
Major parties run political fiefdoms and champion dynastic politics; Lok Satta Party follows a democratic candidate selection process and is a youthful, member-controlled party.
Doubts were raised at every turn, but we were undaunted. Now, we are pleased to share our successes thus far:
Lok Satta Party has emerged as a major mainstream political party starting in the State of Andhra Pradesh, with more than 350,000 members and chapters in 100% of the districts, in over 95% of the towns and cities of the State
Over 70% of our members are under age 25 years. We are the party for India’s younger generation. And these members have democratically elected our LSP leadership.
We lead citizens’ campaigns and grassroots activities based on stances developed by reputed domain experts on key governance issues (healthcare, education, corruption-free administration, transparency and accountability, rejuvenation of agri-economy, police and criminal justice reforms, curbing the illegal liquor menace, etc.). Our activities and advocacy have set the tone and agenda of the political debate.
Our 157 Citizen Service Centers launched across the State have become hubs of collective citizen action and informed assertion. More centers are being established in other towns of the State. Every Party Office will also serve as a Citizen Help Center, Youth-and-Women Development Center.
We launched the Surajya Movement a grassroots citizens’ campaign against political corruption. We also established the People Commission Against Corruption to conduct transparent and unbiased enquires into instances of political and administrative corruption. Lok Satta Party has emerged as a credible and ethical mainstream political party, offering a genuine and viable alternative to the present, degenerated political culture. |
