Three Cheers to Lok Paritran !!

They are campaigning full-swing and pretty much confident on Mylapore and T.Nagar. Prabu Karthik has a complete coverage here. Do read it completely. Cheers to Lok Paritran!!

Here is another write up on their party, I found today on the Web.

A glimpse of hope now has dawned on the horizon. “Lok Paritran” (or Emancipator of the Masses) is a new party that has been floated by ex-IITians, trying to make a difference. A set of educated (That would be an understatement) Indians, who could all have had a luxurious life at mansions in Hawaii or Silicon valley, have plunged into politics, with a vow for the betterment of society.
