Loksatta Demands Effective Utilization of Nirbhaya Fund
Loksatta Party national leadership is convening in Hyderabad July 31st and Aug 1st for their strategic planning leading to the GHMC elections. Addressing the press, the National President Mr Surendra Srivastava said, "The recent spate of unbridled corruption across the country, be it the Vyapam Scam in MP, the Chikki Scam in Maharashtra or the corruption within Karnataka Lokayukta, has affirmed that all of the ruling parties are undifferentiated in their taint. Dr Jaya Prakash Narayan was the original author of the AP Anti-corruption Bill and Loksatta in Karnataka is now the only party with a solution to the Lokayukta corruption stalemate. "
With the new leadership in the past year, the party has a strong emphasis on youth and women and has taken a decisive turn towards aggressive political action. On International Women's Day, Loksatta had launched an online campaign to solicit input from the public on how the 3000 cr Nirbhaya Fund could be put to productive use and received tremendous response from both men and women. Earlier today, Loksatta intensified this campaign further this by assembling around 40 thought leaders, activists and political drivers like to debate, decide and deliver an actionable plan on this topic.
Hyma Potineni, National General Secretary said "Loksatta has constituted a Nirbhaya Action Team along with eminent Hyderabadis like Ms Devi, Ms Jamuna etc. to fight for ... Hyderabad is third only after Delhi and Bangalore in violence against women and TRS has not submitted a single proposal for remedy against the available 3000 cr Nibhyaya Fund. This is a disgrace and a denial of basic human rights to the thousands of affected women in a state that leads the nation in female trafficking for prostitution."
Telengana President Mr Panduranga Rao attacked the TS Govt for utter failure in handling the Cash For Vote corruption scam. "TRS displayed characteristically fake bravado in naming CBN and claiming to have his voice on tape. Since then, either they have chickened out or a back room deal has been hatched between the two and no one but the pawn Revanth Reddy has been targeted!"
GHMC General Secretary Bonthu Sambi Reddy highlight the successful campaigns undertaken by Loksatta in the recent weeks. He said, "TRS has forgotten about the Telengana students after state creation. Loksatta alone took up the issue of ECET students fee reimbursement. Tens of thousands of students have expressed their support to Loksatta vocally, through missed calls, by attending meetings and protesting with us. Loksatta has delivered for the youth!"
National Communications Chairperson, Mr A Srinivas conducted the press meet and invited the Hyderabad youth to dream big and join Loksatta to take over the city corporation. "This would be the best tribute to the legacy of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam."

Bring a legislation on citizens’ rights
Leaders of various political parties and organisations favoured a legislation on citizens’ rights at a round table meeting on "Citizens’ services as a Right" organised at Andhra Bhasha Nilayam in Hanamkonda on Sunday.
At the meeting organised by Lok Satta Social Service Organisation, Lok Satta advisor Parcha Kodandarama Rao urged the State government to extend the same rights and facilities to citizens as being extended to the prospective entrepreneurs in the State. "The government promises to clear sanctions within 15 days or the officials concerned would be asked to pay Rs. 1,000 per day for the delay. The same should be extended to the citizens seeking civic services," he said.
He wanted the government to make government employees more responsible and transparent while discharging their duties.
TDP leader A. Baswa Reddy said the government employees were not conscious of their duties, but only fight for their rights. Though separate Telangana was the result of all the sections in the society, the employees were taking all the credit which isn’t right.
Law college principal T. Vijaychander wanted the State government to bring a legislation on the lines of Right to Information Act to help citizens secure services within a timeframe. CPI (M) leader S. Vasudeva Reddy pointed out that farmers in remote villages do not get pattadhar passbooks without greasing the palms of revenue employees. There were instances of ACB trapping the employees harassing the innocent people seeking pattadhar passbooks.
Rotary Club governor K. Indrasena Reddy said it was unfortunate that citizens had to beg for their rights in a democracy. The State and Central governments should ensure protection of their rights. The citizens were not treated well by the government employees in any office, he said.

Loksatta Expresses Shock Over Rajamundry Stampede - Dr.JP appeals to people to exercise caution

Dr. JP appealed to the state government to provide medical assistance to all injured and to standby the families that lost precious lives.
"Everyone knew that there will be huge crowds, but the local administration is not empowered due to over centralization and remains passive. The prevailing attitude that differentiates VIP ghats and 'general' ghats seemed to have caused this terrible tragedy. Administration must be on high alert to avoid any further incidents. I request the Telangana government to take precautionary measures." said Dr. JP in a media statement
Dr. JP appealed to the people to consider taking the dip anywhere along 100s of kilometers that the river flows and on any day during the year.
Mr. Surendra Srivastava, National President, Ms. Hyma Potineni, National General Secretary and A Srinivas, Communications Chairperson expressed shock over the incident "Yet another tragic instance of completely avoidable suffering. It is unfortunate that the focus is more on publicity than on maintaining order. A thorough investigation must be carried out immediately and action must be taken on those found guilty"
Loksatta Party Andhra Pradesh state unit President Dr. Pattabhi Ramaiah and General Secretary Bheesetti Babji expressed their anguish over losing lives of senior citizens, women and children and conveyed their heartfelt condolences to the families, many of them from Uttara Andhra region. Mr. Babji demanded the government to support the families of those affected.
