Lok Satta open for coalitions
This is the current political scenario in the state
TDP + CPM + CPI
TRS - mostly towards TDP
PRP : Alone
Congress: Alone
Lok Satta: Alone

Lok Satta has made a statement yesterday that they are open to a coalition with any political party which is willing to work with them in the next elections. Lok Satta is a party built on high ideologies and is not a strong party from the view of Vote Bank. So, none of the parties is actually interested in coalating with this party.
However, Jaya Prakash, as a formality announced that they are open to coalitions with any party and laid some conditions. He said that any party willing to work with them should not distribute money or liquor to people at election time and also should not include any ‘free’ offers in the manifesto which are practically not possible.
It is clear that no major political party will dare to abide by these conditions given the current state of politics in the country. In the previous elections also, Lok Satta made a similar proposal to the political parties and none of the parties showed any interest in coalating with Lok Satta. Even now, none of the parties are willing to abide by these conditions and work with Lok Satta.
So, Lok Satta will have to contest alone in the next elections and may not even win a single seat. However, winning in the elections is not the ultimate aim of Lok Satta, at least in these elections.
