MLA ticket for 25 rupees...

Believe me that MLA ticket from Loksatta is 25 rupees only.

On 29th March 2009 at KPHB Loksatta professional party meet, when I first time attended a political party meeting. I observed the intention of the people; they want change in present political ground.

JP pointed out the challenges facing by Loksatta in Andhra Pradesh. He told that for some of the assembly constituencies still no one are coming forward to nominate from Loksatta, because

• Loksatta is against distribution of money and liquor (recently one of the members of loksatta cancelled his nomination because JP denied him to distribute money and liquor)
• People know Loksatta is good party, but thinks its waste to vote for loksatta as it is not in a position to win. Good peoples silence is more dangerous than bad people's deeds. JP wants to create belief in people that lok satta is the right alternative and vote for it with confidence

I really felt sad about the present thinking of the people " its waste to vote for loksatta as it is not in a position to win " I strongly agree with JP that when ever people think they want right alternative and vote confidently then loksatta will really win, might be it take 1 month (2009 elections) or 5 years or 10 years...I am waiting for that good day.

At the end of the Question & Answer session about 20 people came forward to take MLA tickets to nominate from lok satta in different places of Andhra Pradesh. People are coming forward one after the other...

• First a lady came forward and JP gave her chance to speak. She joined Loksatta just the day before this meeting and she really a common lady who understands the problems of the people. She really inspired with her natural speech not like other politicians scripted speech. She nominated on that day itself with nominal price of 25 rupees from Lok satta.
• A young boy came forward and he directly told that he is ready to nominate at any place in Nellure district.
• One more young boy directly told from the people that I am ready to nominate from any place in Andhra Pradesh.
• Its continued like this for hour. Total 20 members ready to be nominated through lok satta.... People inspired and encouraged with very big applause.

This is a really very good thing I saw and experienced. I bet that you can not see this type of scene in any Movies or Serials. A real incident.. But no television is Andhra Pradesh is ready to show you this scene. (Soon I will write one more article on this, why media will not cover Lok satta ) You might have seen a small bit of JP's speech at the end of the news reel.
