The Hindu Business Line : Movement for political reforms

HYDERABAD: Dr Jayaprakash Narayan, the founder of Lok Satta, is now working on a national level `non-partisan movement' to press for reforms in political and electoral systems

Interacting with journalists here on Sunday, he said the ideals of Lok Satta, a non-governmental organisation working Andhra Pradesh, needed to be taken up at the national level.

A core team had been formed to take care of Janadesh activities.

To begin with the movement would be taken to States such as Gujarat, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Delhi and Pune.

"If we don't change the political system, we can't change other things," Mr Jayaprakash Narayan, a member of National Advisory Council, said.

"There are outstanding personalities in polity and judiciary. But as institutions they failed," he said.

"Janadesh would provide a platform facilitating for political debate on electoral reforms," the Lok Satta's National Coordinator said.
