The year 2010 has shown how a party working for empowerment of people through alternative policies will make a difference in politics, the Lok Satta Party claimed in a statement here on Saturday.
The issues and policies which were otherwise ‘neglected by the traditional parties' and which had ‘necessitated the Lok Satta movement to transform into a party' had started becoming political agenda in 2010, the statement said.
People had come to know the facts and wide debates had taken place on issues like reforms in agriculture, utilisation of water resources, reforms in judiciary, solutions to regional disparities, employment opportunities for youth, prohibition, debates in Assembly, corruption episodes like 2-G spectrum only due to the presence of LSP, it said.
The statement claimed that but for the LSP, parties would have provoked the sentiments of the people on the issue of Telangana. The Lok Satta was of the firm belief that division of a State was not a panacea to problems of any region and decentralisation of powers and funds would help correct the regional imbalances, it said.
