Andhra Politics - Congress ;TDP;PRP;TRS

Who is the president of TDP - Chandra Babu

 Who is the president of Congress - YSR

Who is the president of PRP - Chiranjeevi

These are pretty obvious and taken for granted. Though all the above parties claim to be democratic, no one would contest against them for the President. Worse, these posts sometimes go hereditary without any contest.

But the situation in LokSatta is different. Lok Satta founded by Jaya Prakasha Narayanan was being led by JayPrakasha all these years.  However, this time two other members are contesting for the President of this party. This party is going for internal elections in the next elections and it was reported that two other members other than Dr. Jayaprakash had purchased the applications(names not revealed).This party has more than five lakh members who are eleigible to vote and choose their leadership.

There were a few comments that Lok Satta is doing this deliberately to ’show off’ that their party is more open and democratic that the other parties. It is obvious that JayaPrakash will win this and the contest is just a political gimmick, said an opposition party leader.
