Lok Paritran- A beginning

18th November 2005 dawned as yet another day for most of the Indians.But it never dawned to any of us that there was going to be a party in the near future with youngsters and that too educated youngsters. The ideal world scenario which we could experience in movies and leave the hall with a deep sigh might just be a decade away( or even earlier than that) !

"From the time of its inception on the 18th of Nov. 2005, Lok Paritran has stood
for good governance and the elimination of corruption. Our policies are aimed
toward far-reaching and permanent improvement in the quality of life of every
citizen of India. "

These were the lines I went across in their site Lok Paritran.
Simple,yet significant. This is all I want from a government…I heard myself saying.

Before you read further ,here is the disclaimer:
I am neither a member of the party nor a person scheming against it. I am just an every - day office - going software engineer who lives a mundane life with a tint of hope that one day we would live in an efficient India. All I say here are my own opinion.

This site perusal about LP was long time ago when I first was blindly supporting them just because I felt good to know these people are young and honest enough to make India corrupt free. Nothing more than what they did in the TN elections was expected. I was disappointed but not totally until there was a big let down when everything began falling apart after a crisis.. But now everything needs to fall in place soon…….

I joined a few orkut communities which discuss about Lok Paritran. I found that after their loss,everyone seemed to lose faith in Lok Paritran. The crisis was further making it lose credibility. And now, there are more quarrels in the communities rather than unity. Communites like Lok Paritran Sucks started coming up. What a letdown for the enthused guys! But remember guys..crisis is the only test of endurance.Stand together in crisis, you will slowly begin to glow even in darkness. I liked the way Sudhish Kamaath had blogged about the party post-elections. I might lack a similar powerful way of putting it across.But let me try….

Without beating around the bush,let me jump onto the point straight.

Where LP impresses:
Democracy :It’s a party begun by 5 people( or 6,doenst matter really) but helped by a few thousands today. Those thousands are not people who get paid,not people who are relatives of the 5, and not at all known to the 5 until they met them,they are people like me,like you and like everyone who wants to see a better India.

Youth: The younger generation which you and I belong to belives in a performance is to power relationship.If someone is successful in performance even if he is lacking in experience should have more power but the vice versa shouldn’t hold true.The youth of India looks promising with the former ideology.

Education: Simple and hard working people without education have ruled our states popularly. Arent the same traits a touch better with education? Isnt that why Abdul Kalaam is a role model to today’s youth than any other president?


Yes I do agree LP fails to impress in more than one area.The internal party problems,lack of adequate funds and fickle members who just wont accept failures. But do not forget LP is here to change the system the way you and I want it to be. Its after all our party. So it is we who need to hold it together. The good or bad,lets put forth our views together. Let the persons concerned come forward and explain.This is one such effort to bring us all together…..

Let me start to consider that Lok Paritran is our party( People who started this I hope will surely agree that its meant for we the people of India who fervently hope for a change in our system.)Invite more people to join the communities,support each other instead of arguing blindly..Brainstorm,come to a conclusion. Those whose points are left out should understand that on the whole it’s a win – win situation. I win when people listen,people win when I listen.
If you are a member of Lok Paritran Student wing,Lok Paritran,Lok Paritran Chennai chapter,etc…just pass on the message that we want more people to volunteer to whatever levels they can to help ourselves. Convene a get-together at a common place,discuss with the party members about the different ways through which you can volunteer and keep in touch using those communities about events and happenings. Slowly get to understand the contributors and people who you think are able in the party. Vote amongst the group to select candidates who will represent the party during the elections without much of any hype.During the course of the events within the party and communities,anyone found less able with majority intervention should be replaced without fanfare.By the time the next election comes,the most able,popular and deserved candidate will represent Lok Paritran.

If you are a member of communities like Lok Paritran Sucks or Lok Comedy paritran,please understand that Lok Paritran as u know is a fledgling party now but no lesser than any of the parties as of today. But where LP promises is that it is open to change,the way you want it to be. If you are not happy with the way its performing, put forth your point and suggestions to the persons concerned offline. Discouraging the party’s ideology is going to upset many people whose spirits will be dampened.Let us join hands to form a united India. Corrupt free India is our dream. Let us help Lok Paritran to realise our dream.
