JP gives call to strive for spl status to Rayalaseema
JP gives call to strive for spl status to Rayalaseema, Jayaprakash Narayan, AP Reorganization Bill. Addressing a meeting at party headquarters, he said the proposals he outlined during a discussion on the AP Reorganization Bill in the Assembly had received wide support from the people all over the State.
Hyderabad: Lok Satta Party national president Jayaprakash Narayan called upon youth all over the State and industry organisations like CII and FICCI to mobilise support for getting Special Category status to the Rayalaseema region.
Addressing a meeting at party headquarters, he said the proposals he outlined during a discussion on the AP Reorganization Bill in the Assembly had received wide support from the people all over the State.
JP pointed out that the Special Category status to Rayalaseema would attract huge investments as it entails exemption from excise and corporate income tax and provide employment to tens of thousands of youth. He underlined that he had made the proposal, keeping in mind the long-term interests of youth and not short-term political gains for the party. Urging the people to detest dynastic politics, he said politics was a noble endeavour and not business.As business has many players, the consumer stands to gain from availing quality goods and services at competitive rates.
In contrast, people stand to lose immensely if they elect people on dynastic credentials and not on merit or competence or integrity, he said. The 70 lakh youth in the State and 11 to 12 crore in the country, who are going to vote for the first time in the 2014 elections, should spurn dynastic politics.
JP pointed out that thanks to the 18-year campaign launched by the Lok Satta, the people who once detested politics were now considering exercising franchise as a matter of pride.
Even today’s leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party which made a splash in Delhi Assembly elections had hated politics in 2011. Asked whether the emergence of AAP in the State would result in a loss to the party, JP said LSP was not a company to be in business only if it makes profits.
