JP likely to contest for LS from Malkajgiri
HYDERABAD: Lok Satta Party chief Jayaprakash Narayan is planning to contest from Malakjgiri Lok Sabha constituency in the ensuing polls.
Jayaprakash Narayan said he had received several requests from people and even major political parties to fight the Lok Sabha elections. Jayaprakash Narayan is keen on Malkajgiri as the constituency has 65 percent voters from Seemandhra.
He said his party would contest a limited number of seats in both Telangana and residuary state of Andhra Pradesh. Time has come for ending dynastic politics, corruption, centralisation, divisions and freebies and refraining from repeating past mistakes, he said.
'The Loksatta has drafted its manifesto not with an eye on garnering seats and votes in elections but on providing a detailed road map for facilitating development, welfare and reforms,' he said.
He said in the event of his party coming to power in the state a strong Lokayukta and ombudsmen at the district level will be formed and the corrupt will be jailed and their properties confiscated. Citizens' charters will be implemented to ensure hassle-free services.
He said every family will be provided free healthcare in both government and private hospitals and every student will be provided education, including computer and English language skills.
He said liquor trade will be nationalised and shops limited to towns and mandal headquarters.
