Lok Satta Party names candidates for Tirupati and Anantapur

The Lok Satta Party today announced that Mr. Maddipatla Siddaiah Naidu (47), a former defense employee, will contest the by-election to the Assembly from Tirupati and Dr. Kondeti Kondaiah (48) from Anantapur.

Announcing this at a media conference, Lok Satta Party leaders Katari Srinivasa Rao, V. Laxman Balaji and P. Bhaskara Rao criticized the Chief Minister sharply for allocating public resources to boost Congress party prospects in by-elections. The State funding the Congress election campaign is blatant abuse of power, they added. Adding insult to injury, the Government is nominating party workers to execute e works without calling for tenders.

The Lok Satta leaders appealed to the electorate to ponder whether they should vote for parties which instead of addressing people's problems in legislatures sought to disrupt them. By voting for the Lok Satta, people should demonstrate they are thirsting for a change in political culture.

They pointed out that the by-elections have been foisted upon people by parties merely to serve their leaders' personal agenda.

Lok Satta tribute to Satyamurthy

The Lok Satta Party expressed its condolences over the death of Mr. K. G. Satyamurthy, one of the founders of the People's War Group.

Mr. Katari Srinivasa Rao, Lok Satta Party General Secretary, said in a media statement today that Mr. Satyamurthy was reputed not merely as a revolutionary leader but also as a poet who inspired party workers.

A Dalit by birth who endured untouchability, he sought to address the caste factor in Indian polity unto his last.
