Open new chapter in people's lives in Andhra Pradesh: LSP

Hyderabad,Jul 2: President of Lok Satta Party and MLA Jayaprakash Narayan today called upon the educated and the youth to seize the golden opportunity to transform politics in Andhra Pradesh and open a new chapter in people's lives.Addressing the media on the two-day deliberations of the State Working Committee, he said LSP had realised that pursuing a transformational political agenda was an uphill task.Traditional parties over the years had kept people in a state of stupor and managed to win in election after election by buying their votes with money or liquor or raining short-term sops. ''The Congress Party in the State is steeped in a deep leadership crisis while the Telugu Desam Party(TDP) has lost all credibility,''he said. ''Successive traditional party Governments have abdicated their basic responsibilities of ensuring quality education, healthcare, employment and livelihood opportunities through skills enhancement, optimum utilization of natural resources and rule of law.'' ''Traditional party politicians have turned politics into a means for personal aggrandizement at the cost of the people who elect them. Against such a dismal backdrop, the Lok Satta with a credible, specific and practical agenda and committed and dedicated leadership comes as a fresh breath of air,'' he said.''It was never too late to transform the political scene since there are legions of honest people in society who are thirsting for change. As of now they feel they are helpless,'' the LSP leader added.
