Why SKC was wrong on Lok Satta Party

Why SKC was wrong on Lok Satta Party
Posted on 28 May 2013 at 3:09 AM, IST. indiatimes

On 8 May 2013 Sone-ki-Chidiya had announced "Lok Satta candidates are doing very well in Karnataka with almost NO resources. With a bit more NATIONAL LEVEL strategic work, new parties have a serious chance of winning a good number of seats."

SKC must admit that it was horribly wrong.

When the results came in a few hours later we were as shocked as everyone else that LSP barely managed to poll about 61,000 votes for the whole of Karnataka despite putting up many good candidates and professionals in urban areas of Bangalore.

It is clear to us now that the people of India have rejected alternative political parties with little hope of winning especially those floated by the intellectual classes. The SKC shall have to revisit its strategy if we are to actually fight elections in 2014 as many of us want.

In the coming months, SKC will float many state level parties to fight the elections for the Lok Sabha on local issues. This strategy will enable SKC to enter into local alliances at State level irrespective of national alliances and enable issue based support. The draft manifesto of SKC party is ready and it only remains for the General Body to ratify it.

Our mother is calling to us and we shall not fail the nation.
