      Lok Paritran Karnataka President Naganna removed after attacks on the National Committee
      Submitted by admin on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 15:28. Announcement Karnataka
      B.T. Naganna, who was the Karnataka State President, has been removed from all positions in the Party after he attacked the National General Secretary, Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit, on Saturday, the 10th of May. Police complaints have been filed against Naganna and a press conference was held today to make the announcement public.
      Founder and National President, Shri. Chandrashekhar, announced that certain facts had recently come to light about B.T. Naganna, the Karnataka State President of Lok Paritran, which cast doubt on the suitability of his presidency. It has been brought to our notice that Naganna has been misreporting his educational qualification, and is not the holder of a B.E. degree as he claims, since he left before completion of the degree. Further and more significantly, Naganna has been allegedly implicated in the murder of two men. Naganna was faced with the charges and not being able to provide adequate explanation, was stripped of his post in the Party on Saturday, the 10th of May. In response he violently attacked the National General Secretary, Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit, that very night and threatened to kill him. He hurled a large stone at Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit at his head at close range, which Shri. Rajpurohit fortunately managed to dodge. The next morning, even as police reports were being filed about the above incident, Naganna attacked the National Legal Advisor Shri. Srikant Chakravarti’s residence with around 15 goons. He tried to force entry into the house, and threatened Shri. Chakravarti’s parents that he would shatter Shri. Chakravarti’s bones if he was found anywhere near his home.
      The National General Secretary Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit said, “Naganna has filed a false complaint with the police that Lok Paritran has demanded Rs. 6 lakhs from every candidate who participated in the election on our ticket. He threatened Shri. Nalin Jain, the Lok Paritran candidate from Gandhinagar, and said that he would burn his office down if Shri. Nalin Jain did not admit to the allegations. He has also issued other threats to some other candidates of the Party. Considering Naganna’s behavior after he was removed from the Presidency the doubts raised about his background do not seem to be unfounded.
      Shri. Chandrashekhar said, “Lok Paritran is a Party that has espoused honesty and transparency right from its inception, and the National Committee feels that such a person should not be allowed to continue not only as the State President but also as a primary member of the Party.” Police complaints have been filed, and the National President made the following announcements:

      B.T. Naganna is herewith removed from all positions in the Party
      The Karnataka State Committee is suspended until further notice.

      We will update you as further developments happen.

      Other side of story, on May 15th, 2008 at 9:51 pm Said:

      Dear Members, our supporters and all of you who have voted for our candidates in the polls on May 10th….

      The founders of Lok Paritran, who form the National Committee, held a PressConference on Monday and made allegations on Mr. B.T.Naganna. Almost all the newspapers have carried the details of this press note in their editions on Tuesday and the same has also been put up on the website of the party.

      Mr. B.T.Naganna was our State President until he was removed from the post yesterday as per the announcement in the Press Conference. He was also our candidate from KRPuram constituency.

      *All the allegations made by the National committee are baseless and totally false.
      *We are now in the process of filing our case on the founders for defamation and damages. The details will be made available to all of you as soon as we actually file the case in the court of law.

      The charge that Mr. Naganna attacked Tanmay is also false - in fact, Tanmay and his team organised a pre-meditated attack on Naganna at around 9.30pm on the 10th evening, after we all dispersed from the Press Club around 8.30pm.

      The reason for the attack on Naganna is extremely shocking and shameful - but we want all our people to know the truth, however bitter it may be….

      About 10 days ago, when all our candidates had started their Election campaigns in full earnest, the National General Secretary, Tanmay Rajpurohit, asked two of our candidates to adjust about Rs. 6 lakhs to 7 lakhs of expenses on behalf of candidates from one of the largest National political party. Both our candidates refused to do so.

      Tanmay’s reasoning for this was that as none of our candidates were going to show more than Rs. 2 lakhs as the poll expenses, this would be very `helpful’ to our party.

      This matter was discussed between a few select members and other candidates and was decided that we would refuse to do this `adjustment’ and that the National committee would be confronted with this issue immediately after the polling.

      Tanmay and their team were also pressurizing our (ex) State Treasurer - Mr. Shashidhar Alabur, to submit the State unit’s accounts on the 5th of May itself. He said it would not be possible because of lack of time and when he demanded to see the accounts of the National unit, his request was refused by Tanmay saying that he had no right to scrutinize their accounts.

      Thereafter, on the night of May 5th, around 1am, Tanmay and his team along with about 15 others came in 3 vehicles to his house and started banging on the gate of his house. Fearing that some untoward incident may happen, he did not venture out and called the police. Tanmay and his team left the premises before the police arrived. However, a formal complaint was not lodged as this could be extremely embarrassing for our candidates if this news leaked out to the press while the actual polling date was just 5 days away.

      All candidates and core members were supposed to meet in the party office at 6pm on 10th evening after the polling concluded and take the National team to task on the above and many other such matters like a) they never joined any candidates’ campaigns even though they had supposedly more than 15 party members who had come down from Delhi/Rajasthan to help the candidates, b) there was absolutely no help in terms of funds for the State unit or the candidates, c) they were creating more problems for the candidates than helping them out by calling them for meetings at odd hours and places etc.

      However, because of a bogus voting issue in one booth of one of our candidates, we all had to rush to the Chief Election Commissioner’s office where we joined the press conference in progress and then lodged our formal complaint on the bogus voting problem. Thereafter, all of us present had various discussions with the media and then dispersed around 8.30pm. A few minutes after Naganna left, Tanmay called him on his mobile and told him they wanted to have a personal discussion with him and agreed to meet near TGI Friday on Airport Road. All of them met for some time and Chandrashekhar, the National President, then asked Naganna to instruct all the candidates to ‘adjust’ Rs. 5 lakhs to 7 lakhs for another party’s candidates in our poll expenses. Naganna refused to do so and walked away.
      Just as he got into his van, 4 men dressed in black, wearing black helmets with dark visors attacked him from both sides. A baseball bat was shoved in from one window which bruised Naganna in the face - but he was quick to grab the bat, get out from the other side and chase one of them with the bat. In the skirmish that followed, Naganna sustained injuries on his hands and legs also - but the thugs managed to escape in an old blue Maruti van. Tanmay &#38; co were spotted watching all this and then they rushed to get into an auto and vanish.

      When we all joined forces in the morning on Sunday and went to the Police Station to lodge a complaint, we found Tanmay &#38; co also in the same Police station lodging a complaint on us ! Thereafter, we discovered that they had also lodged another complaint in another Police station on the events of the previous night claiming that Naganna had attacked Tanmay. And on Monday we got the news that they had conducted a press conference where they accused Naganna of various things and that the State committee has been dissolved.

      In view of all these events, many statements made by Tanmay and Chandrashekhar, during the last so many meetings and even just before the nominations were filed, assume a different significance now. Remarks like ‘it is very easy to get money during elections’, ‘just pay 5000 for the nomination deposit and the rest will automatically come to you’, ‘adjusting 5 or 10 lakhs (rupees) is not a big thing during elections’ etc. etc. The fact that during the Elections in Gujarat, while the campaigns were in full swing in Gujarat, the whole team flew in from Ahmedabad to Bangalore for 2 days just to meet us and were found having a party at the Leela Palace !

      May be this was due to some ‘adjustment’ ?

      It is now quite obvious to us that these founders of Lok Paritran have always had these intentions of making money during the elections as the primary purpose and all that ideology etc is just eyewash.
      We always felt, that, even though the founders had a horrible dress sense, were quite often rude and rough with members - we felt this was due to immaturity and that they would learn in the course of time - but we never doubted their integrity and morals. Alas, we have been proved wrong.
      However, every single active member of our Bangalore unit as well as all the candidates (except Nalin Jain who contested from Gandhinagar constituency, who happens to be Tanmay’s close associate) have expressed their solidarity with Naganna and the state committee. Those of you who know us personally or have met us will know who is speaking the truth.

      *We assure you all that all of us in the State committee, District committee and all the 10 candidates have been true to the ideology of Lok Paritran, are non-corrupt, are transparent in our actions and accountable for our actions totally - and will continue to be so.

      * Some other facts that you all should be aware of :
      Tanmay and Chandrashekhar are own brothers - but Chandrashekhar never writes Rajpurohit after his name (probably to hide this fact)
      Dheeraj Kumar who is on the national committee is a cousin of Tanmay.
      Santanagopalan and Srikant Chakravarti - who are also on the National committee are cousins of Tanmay.
      So, the national committee is a family affair now.
      (That is transparency for all of us !)

      The three or four of the other founders who were with Tanmay when the party was founded have all left (or were forced to leave).

      None of the National team answers their phones on Tuesday !!! (Seriously, we are not joking) - they did not want any of the candidates to file their nominations on Tuesday this time in Bangalore - but some did anyway. (May be they don’t teach about superstitions in IIT ?)

      *What next for all of us and Lok Paritran ? *
      We have decided to wait till the announcement of the poll results on May 25th before taking a final decision.
      We feel this is not the end of it as the National committee has some more dirty tricks in their bag and will try and do some more damage to us in the next 10-15 days - but we will show them that they cannot get away with it anymore.

      Many many sincere thanks to all of you who have supported us in our endeavors and efforts in these last 2 years. We will continue to strive for good governance and removal of corruption - and we hope your support is there for us too….

      By the (ex) State Committee, (ex) District committee and our 10 candidates.

      This is very unfortunate but people across the country are very happy that LP’s (Looser Party) president Chandrashekar, GS Tanmay and Shantagopalan finally got bitten in karnataka. leagal advisor Srikant Chakravarti managed to disappear with the 4 gundas hired for Naganna. This was suppose to happen in Lucnow or Mumbai but they managed to escape.

      Now see who is with LP

      Tamilnadu - No one. LP’s founder misbehave with them and they all are in the process of merging with BPD (Bharat punarnirman dal).

      Andharapradesh - No One. They are already with BPD.

      Karnataka - Only one and that is Nalin Jain. I don’t think people of karnataka will give any value to a Rajsthani.

      Delhi - Sharma was taking care of Delhi unit but LP’s founders abused him and he left the party with Delhi unit.

      Gujrat - No one. Molik Bhatt (LP Candidate from Maninagar) got bitten by LP’s founders and he is no more with LP.

      UP - None. Two Candidates fought Assembly election under lok paritran banner but now athey are not with LP but BPD. They are finished in UP.

      Maharastra - All joined BPD. No base at all for LP.

      Finally, all are happy with the news that LP founders got bitten badly in Karnataka and in the process of forming another group or joining with BPD.

      List of members in Lok Paritran
      —————————————
      1. Chandrashekar Rajpurohit – President
      2. Tanmay Rajpurohit – General Secretary.
      3. Shantagopalan – No post. Can say Spoon of above two.
      4. Shrikant Chakravarthy – Leagal advisor.
      5. Nalin Jain – Another Spoon who contested Karnataka assembly election.

      All the best to LP. Please think twice before joining Looser Party (LP).

      Dear Sir,
      I thought that LP was a better party than the others… with all of those from IITs and IIMs founding a party, I definitely thought that it would do some thing good to the country and its people. But looking at this fight i dont think that you are any different from the other parties. Good that less people know about your party and hence less number are fooled by your dedication towards politics and that towards the country.
      Thanking you and hoping that you dont even win a single seat in the current elections (because u dont deserve to win any).
      And by the way i know that this comment will not be moderated as it is against LP….

      What is that supposed to mean?

      I am not *for* or *against* anyone…The only thing I stand for - and will fight for is *Truth*.

      In fact this chain of comments was started by Prassana (who I presume is still from Lok Paritran) and if I get another comment - giving their side of the story, I will be happy to publish it as well.

      The important thing is for everyone to know what is going on - people can then make their own judgements.

      Just cant believe it is such a Bigggggggg Fraud….. Just utilising the brand IIT and other bakwas double degree he has what a game plan he had done…. Tanmay’s face and dress does not reflect an inch of a IITian attitute…
      All these days i did not have any interest in LP because i was tooo sceptical about this party from beggining..
      But now i must tell the Karnataka LP party that you guys must carry out what you had come to achieve…To eradicate corruption !!… this time i will be in full support towards the ex state party for thier activities because i have seen and spoke to the state party team personally.. they are men of honour who are really into a noble cause of eradicating corruption leaving all thier personal work…

      Dear all,
      Just one clarification :
      Professionals in Bangalore who were ’supporting’ or ‘campaigning’ for LP was actually doing it because of some of the candidates who have good credibility in Bangalore. LP just happened to be the platform on which they were contesting. The party was immaterial.
      We would have even campaigned for them if they had contested on the Congress symbol, because we felt that we needed some different from other regular politicians.
      In fact I heard about LP only from one of the candidates who invited me to join them.
      I would be only glad to work these people (the 10 candidates) because of their credibility and determination to create a difference to politics.

      What we need is a true leader,who can stand by a common man.Not a politician who is different from other politician and looking for a launch.

      If he’s not a true leader, he’ll get a launch pad through
      congress,bjpor lp and will grow up to become a dirty politician. So what’s the point starting a idealistic party.

      Politics is to add the people and not to remove them. I have seen that n number of people joined LP but disappeared due to the behavior of LP’s founders. Now take example of Naganna (Ex Karnataka state president), He has done more work for LP than the founders. He is even more known in the public. Now LP’s founders are blaming that he is not a Graduate. Even if he is not then is LP is giving him job?? Is it written in LP constitution that only Graduate can hold post of President? Due to Nagana only LP exists in Karnatka and not due to LP’s founders. Why they didn’t check his certificate at the time of giving him president post? No one was taker of LP in Karnataka and today also no one is there to take care of LP in Karnataka. Through mail I came to know that all are supporting Naganna and no one is contacting LP’s founders. From LP’s founders only I heard about the murder case pending against Naganna. I just wanted to tell LP’s founder that if Indian law doesn’t have any issue with Naganna then why you are bothering. You should provide proof also other wise some day you may also get same changes by others. Respect others to get respect.

      through mail only I came to know that all the candidate have put their hard earned money and didn’t get even a single coins from LP’s founder as they promised. Most of the candidates are in depth of 50K to 75K. This is due to false promises by LP’s founders. I just wanted to tell you that all the members in Karnataka state unit including the entire candidate are very much true because they are not politician and they are as pure as any thing.

      LP Karnataka members are shocked but their moral is very high. They will be keeping continuing their work but not under LP banners.

      Its very unfortunate to see the things turning up this way. I was devasted after hearing all about LP. It was the only party that I had a hope in. But it seems its not different than other parties. When I first met Tanmay in bangalore, in no way he sounded like a leader. He sounded more arogant and not listening to audiences. Even did not gave respect to elderly persons. How one can lead anybody without having this basic principle in life. Still this party made significant progress in Bangalore within short span of time, all the credit goes obviously to the disolved state committee. I owe my full support to the state unit. I remember a famous dialogue from film SARKAR ” taakat logonko jodane se milati hai, todane se nahi”..

      joined the party in the first place with hopes of seeing a better future for our society. All the volleys of accusations going around leaves a bad taste! However going on the work and dedication level, Bangalore LP has been doing a commendable job in comparison with the LP in other states or even the National party. From the interaction i have had with the members of the State party including Mr. Naganna when working with them for LP i know that they are men of integrity. I will any day back the state party. However th parties future is bleak.

      I read some of the comments and felt the disappointment you all feel…Let me unequivocally state…things will change and it will happen in our life time and in the next two decades. Whosoever i meet up, talk to; I can feel a surge of pasison for a change, desire for a change across the country and sooner or later this will turn into a national movement. My take is that the next election will see a powerful new front of passionate leaders wanting to lead the country to the rightful place it deserves….

      What a shame on Tanmay and chandrashekar, on the day i first met Tanmay, it was a press conference, he was so rude and carefree to the reporters, he did not even answer as a common man does, when this part was discussed when we met in the office later, Tanmay told some bull shit stories and said the reporters to do not be taken seriously. That day i did not understand his stand and now i do. I personally know how Mr Naganna, shashi, Ajit and team had worked hard for the cause of good governance and up against corruption. But shamefully the national team is comprised with such an anti-national elements. Naganna I am with you with full force.

      Its been a long time i am exprssing my views.I joind the party for the same reasons as of myfellow members.Initially I though that this party is going to change things with the kind of mission and vision it came up with and the way is started here in bangalore.But I just kept aloof for sometime just to wait and watch as I anticip[atyed somethig this this but definitely not so fast.They way we started working from the grassroot level with the superb decication form each and every core member was really commendable.When I met with the national team for the very first time I was quite disappointed as they were not integrated at all.The benifit that they had was operating from the national level.with units at various state.I wish thaey could have capitalised on this and would have made a strong base.But things went down the other way.Now the only option I see for the members of LP at bangalore either to join with another party to venture in politics or just set up another group with somethibg catchy that people will digest.The main attraction of LP was IIT and IIM now as that banner is removed i believe the only options are either to get someone from those institutions (impossible task) or keep working like NGO’s assisting people and gain populariy and trust of public and then contest in elections to gain a strong base and further work to the goal(removing corruption).I only wish all the luck to all members for all future endeavours and be be carefull about taking any steps forward.

      Hi,
      I have doubt whether LP’s founders are really from IIT. They don’t know LP’s constitution also. They think that any state unit/Office can be started any time and dissolve any time. There is certain procedure for this. As per the constitution, national committee have to sent notice to the state unit and seek clarification of the issue and I have come to know that they have not done so far but they have announced in the media. They also think that LP is their parental property. Dear founders, the day party is registered with election commission its public property and not yours own.

      Today I came to know from website that a new office has been opened to do the business.

      ************
      Lok Paritran is happy to announce a new and improved office in Karnataka. The Karnataka State office will be located in Bangalore and is open for business. The contact information is given below.
      157, 12th Main, Nagendra Block, Bangalore - 560 050
      Opposite Aiyappa Temple on 50 Ft Road
      Contact #: 94489 85711
      ***********************
      I am confused whether they have opened the office to do the business or server the society. No No, its for the business what they did this time. In another 3 months there are possibility of Corporation election and later Parliamentary election and they can do better business.
      As per the Raj comments, LP (desolved) should merge with another party or create a new organization. I feel this is very easy because what ever name LP have got due to Karnata State unit and not due to LP’s founders. As all are together they can set the things right very quickly but here question is what will happen if LP founders will continue in LP. They will be keep doing business on the name of IIT, keep shitting here and there so its better to finish them (Remove them from LP)politically so that in future they will not dare to open even NGO also.

      I believe Karntaka unit has a support of all the state units and together they will create history.

      Dear all,
      Greetings! I am Cdr. (Retd) BB Khilari from Bangalore, who has contested the Assembly elections from Lok Paritran and awaiting results on 25 May 08. At the outset, I would like to inform you in right earnestness that you all are being totally ill-informed and mis-guided about Karnataka LP party by Tanmay Raj Purohit and his brother Chandrashekhar through LP website.

      You all may be surprised to know that if at all LP party noticeably exists in the country, it is the Karnataka unit, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Mr. BT Naganna, the erstwhile State President and Mr. Shashidhar Alabur, the Treasurer, who have been sweating it out for over two and a quarter years to spread the message of LP, without any recognisable support from the so-called National Committee of LP headed by the two brothers mentioned above.

      I only joined about six months ago, highly impressed by the ideology and vision portrayed by the party, and contributed my bit in its growth. However, you shall all be surprised to know that none of the National Committee members have helped any of the 11 candidates in the campaigning process even on a single day. Instead they were busy contacting the candidates one by one to adjust the poll expenses of Congress candidates into their accounts as the maximum expenditure of LP candidates was around 2 to 2.5 lakhs against the CEC allowed limit of 10 lakhs. The basic aim seems to have been to convert black money of the Congress candidates into white for their own self-aggrandisement.

      When I got the wind of this and when Tanmay Purohit and Chandrashekhar wanted to visit me alone at my residence, I refused and asked them to arrange a formal meeting at the party Hqs. Since none of the candidates, except perhaps, one, Nalin Jain, presumably their relative, and an unfit LP candidate projected by the National team, agreed to their nefarious demands, on 10th May, they invited Mr. Naganna, for a personal discussion at about 8.45 pm. and after the discussions, where in Mr. Naganna refused to influence any of the candidates accounts or make adjustments in the State accounts, and when Mr. Naganna was about to leave by his car he was attacked by three masked men from a car immediately behind his car with sticks and base ball bats. Naganna somehow managed to chase them away and went home and informed Mr. Shashidhar and others of the party (I have a message received at about 10.21 pm stating Naganna attacked by Tanmay and gang, be careful, saved in my mobile). The conspirators then went and lodged a complaint with police that Naganna had attacked them. However, Mr. Naganna, keepiung in mind, the reputation of the party had discussion with many a party members and candidates next morning and filed a complaint of assault in the evening.

      In the mean time on that day Chandrashekhar and Tanmay addressed a press conference ( all pre-planned, as you have to book in advance) to state that Mr. Naganna has been dismissed and the State unit of Lp has been dissolved, by slapping totally false and baseless charges against Naganna, an act which is also utterly illegal as no prior notice had been issued nor the National council meeting had been convened to take such a decision. Surprisingly, yesterday, when the state committee was holding its meeting from 1600 hours and extended upto 2000 hours Mr. Nalin Jain, in collusion with Tanmay and Chandrashekhar, lodged a complaint in a remote police station at about 1830 hours that Mr. Naganna, Mr. Shashidhar and Mr. Anuj Mishra, a candidate, along with 10 heavily armed goondas attacked him at his office and demanded Rs. six lakhs and to withdraw the complaint lodged by Tanmay against Naganna. I, along with others went to the Police station today and have told the Inspector that this complaint was absolutely false as all the 3 members accused were in a meeting with us the previous day at the alleged time of attack.

      The police have also confirmed that no one visited Nalin Jain’s office as alleged and are taking suitable action. I would like to inform you people that 10 candidates, including Naganna and myself, who contested the elections really sweated it out against corruption, in-efficiency and in-competency in governance and apathy of the administrative machinery towards citizens’ problems with un-imaginable sincerity and dedication and that too in our pre-decided limited budgets, which was appreciated alround. The acts of the National committee of LP came as a surprising blow to all of us and has done considerable damage in the eyes of the public. We have learnt with fgeat pains that these conspirators and the so called founders of LP have done similar acts in Tamil Nadu, UP, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Gujrat and have not promoted the cause for LP’s growth , but were mis-guiding every one , including those who are funding from abroad.

      Please convey this trurth to all those who you know and expose these mis-guided youths, who are younger to my children, and help me in pursuing my fight against corruption which is the original aim of this party.

      Warm Regards,

      Dear JaiHind1, Rajeev, Sumanth, JaiHind, MGM, Sneha, Dnyanesh, Sridhar, Raj and Cdr Khilari: Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and comments.

      This is a very sad episode and does nothing at all to build trust in efforts to cleanse and reform the system.

      I hope other new outfits (like BPD, Loksatta) etc avoid this kind of infighting and ugly politics…

      We need change - now.

      Dear Shantanu,
      I am with you. What I feel that all the fights are going on which is good because it helps to filter the people and things. Even if this is not good for LP but for other like BPD, Lok Satta etc, will help to improve the things. I heard that Lok Paritran got more than 30000 vote in Tamilnadu assembly election 2 years ago. Later I came to know that Ajit Shukla (now BPD founder) was behind the success because there also Tanmay created huge problem but some how Ajit managed it. I also came to know that the day when Ajit Shukla came out from Lok Paritran, it started dieing slowly and as a result LP was able to file only two candidates and each got around 150 votes. In Gujrat only one candidate even if entire LP national team was in Gujrat for more than two months. There also some how they managed to get around 125 Votes. In Karnata LP managed to get 11 candidate and this credit goes to Karnata State Prisident Sri Nagana and not to the LP founders.

      LP founders are very rude and they never answer any question properly. If they don’t know they will answer some thing else and when you ask they will tell you, you don’t have that much maturity to understand and it will take time to understand it. So many LP members have complained about it.

      I feel if LP founders don’t change their attitude they will finish soon and even getting job for 4th grade will be difficult for them. Any way 99% they are finished.

      Dear Shantanu,

      Thank you for your kind comments. Through this forum I would like to state that if Tanamy Rajpurhit and Chandrashekhar really belong to the highly respected Alumni of the IIT’ians and honour them, they should come forward and accept their folly and gracefully resign from the primary membership of the party along with all the members of the National executive committee of LP.If they do so, as an elderly person of the party, I shall pardon them for all their mis-endeavors so far, and assure them that no member of the party or any Bangalorean, there are lakhs of them who appreciated our efforts, shall cause any harm to them when they are repenting thus in front of the press. I shall also make best efforts to see that legal actions initiated against them so far are also dealt with leniently. This will ensure restoration of public faith in LP for the purpose for which it was launched and all the breakaway groups, abandoned groups/individuals of earsttwhile LP as well as other smaller groups/parties with similar ideology and vision can all join together to form a strong united national force to transform politics and Governance in our country. I know that it is a “TALL” demand; but the time to think thus is “Right Now” and if everyone associated with this page thinks deeply and responds, we would have contributed immensely to the dreams of all of us, including Mr. Sanjeev Sabhlok, who may not have to wait too long to genuinely form his team of 1500 capable volunteers of freedom movement..

      If they do not come forward for repentance and act as I have suggested, I can only say that that they shall be ruining their lives at such an young age, as truth alone shall triumph over all mis-deeds. We shall also miss a Golden opportunity to unite all like-minded groups to form a united national force to transform India; and, further, the IIT Alumni may permanently have a black mark on its credibility vis-a-vis values and ethics in life just because of these individuals. I request all bloggers, friends and others who were quite concerned about the future of LP and such other outfits to think and see positively in this manner and by the grace of God and our collective thought and action we shall succeed.

<p>      Lok Paritran Karnataka President Naganna removed after attacks on the National Committee<br />
      Submitted by admin on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 15:28. Announcement Karnataka<br />
      B.T. Naganna, who was the Karnataka State President, has been removed from all positions in the Party after he attacked the National General Secretary, Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit, on Saturday, the 10th of May. Police complaints have been filed against Naganna and a press conference was held today to make the announcement public.<br />
      Founder and National President, Shri. Chandrashekhar, announced that certain facts had recently come to light about B.T. Naganna, the Karnataka State President of Lok Paritran, which cast doubt on the suitability of his presidency. It has been brought to our notice that Naganna has been misreporting his educational qualification, and is not the holder of a B.E. degree as he claims, since he left before completion of the degree. Further and more significantly, Naganna has been allegedly implicated in the murder of two men. Naganna was faced with the charges and not being able to provide adequate explanation, was stripped of his post in the Party on Saturday, the 10th of May. In response he violently attacked the National General Secretary, Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit, that very night and threatened to kill him. He hurled a large stone at Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit at his head at close range, which Shri. Rajpurohit fortunately managed to dodge. The next morning, even as police reports were being filed about the above incident, Naganna attacked the National Legal Advisor Shri. Srikant Chakravarti’s residence with around 15 goons. He tried to force entry into the house, and threatened Shri. Chakravarti’s parents that he would shatter Shri. Chakravarti’s bones if he was found anywhere near his home.<br />
      The National General Secretary Shri. Tanmay Rajpurohit said, “Naganna has filed a false complaint with the police that Lok Paritran has demanded Rs. 6 lakhs from every candidate who participated in the election on our ticket. He threatened Shri. Nalin Jain, the Lok Paritran candidate from Gandhinagar, and said that he would burn his office down if Shri. Nalin Jain did not admit to the allegations. He has also issued other threats to some other candidates of the Party. Considering Naganna’s behavior after he was removed from the Presidency the doubts raised about his background do not seem to be unfounded.<br />
      Shri. Chandrashekhar said, “Lok Paritran is a Party that has espoused honesty and transparency right from its inception, and the National Committee feels that such a person should not be allowed to continue not only as the State President but also as a primary member of the Party.” Police complaints have been filed, and the National President made the following announcements:</p>
<p>      B.T. Naganna is herewith removed from all positions in the Party<br />
      The Karnataka State Committee is suspended until further notice.</p>
<p>      We will update you as further developments happen.<br />

      Other side of story, on May 15th, 2008 at 9:51 pm Said:</p>
<p>      Dear Members, our supporters and all of you who have voted for our candidates in the polls on May 10th….</p>
<p>      The founders of Lok Paritran, who form the National Committee, held a PressConference on Monday and made allegations on Mr. B.T.Naganna. Almost all the newspapers have carried the details of this press note in their editions on Tuesday and the same has also been put up on the website of the party.</p>
<p>      Mr. B.T.Naganna was our State President until he was removed from the post yesterday as per the announcement in the Press Conference. He was also our candidate from KRPuram constituency.</p>
<p>      *All the allegations made by the National committee are baseless and totally false.<br />
      *We are now in the process of filing our case on the founders for defamation and damages. The details will be made available to all of you as soon as we actually file the case in the court of law.</p>
<p>      The charge that Mr. Naganna attacked Tanmay is also false - in fact, Tanmay and his team organised a pre-meditated attack on Naganna at around 9.30pm on the 10th evening, after we all dispersed from the Press Club around 8.30pm.</p>
<p>      The reason for the attack on Naganna is extremely shocking and shameful - but we want all our people to know the truth, however bitter it may be….</p>
<p>      About 10 days ago, when all our candidates had started their Election campaigns in full earnest, the National General Secretary, Tanmay Rajpurohit, asked two of our candidates to adjust about Rs. 6 lakhs to 7 lakhs of expenses on behalf of candidates from one of the largest National political party. Both our candidates refused to do so.</p>
<p>      Tanmay’s reasoning for this was that as none of our candidates were going to show more than Rs. 2 lakhs as the poll expenses, this would be very `helpful’ to our party.</p>
<p>      This matter was discussed between a few select members and other candidates and was decided that we would refuse to do this `adjustment’ and that the National committee would be confronted with this issue immediately after the polling.</p>
<p>      Tanmay and their team were also pressurizing our (ex) State Treasurer - Mr. Shashidhar Alabur, to submit the State unit’s accounts on the 5th of May itself. He said it would not be possible because of lack of time and when he demanded to see the accounts of the National unit, his request was refused by Tanmay saying that he had no right to scrutinize their accounts.</p>
<p>      Thereafter, on the night of May 5th, around 1am, Tanmay and his team along with about 15 others came in 3 vehicles to his house and started banging on the gate of his house. Fearing that some untoward incident may happen, he did not venture out and called the police. Tanmay and his team left the premises before the police arrived. However, a formal complaint was not lodged as this could be extremely embarrassing for our candidates if this news leaked out to the press while the actual polling date was just 5 days away.</p>
<p>      All candidates and core members were supposed to meet in the party office at 6pm on 10th evening after the polling concluded and take the National team to task on the above and many other such matters like a) they never joined any candidates’ campaigns even though they had supposedly more than 15 party members who had come down from Delhi/Rajasthan to help the candidates, b) there was absolutely no help in terms of funds for the State unit or the candidates, c) they were creating more problems for the candidates than helping them out by calling them for meetings at odd hours and places etc.</p>
<p>      However, because of a bogus voting issue in one booth of one of our candidates, we all had to rush to the Chief Election Commissioner’s office where we joined the press conference in progress and then lodged our formal complaint on the bogus voting problem. Thereafter, all of us present had various discussions with the media and then dispersed around 8.30pm. A few minutes after Naganna left, Tanmay called him on his mobile and told him they wanted to have a personal discussion with him and agreed to meet near TGI Friday on Airport Road. All of them met for some time and Chandrashekhar, the National President, then asked Naganna to instruct all the candidates to ‘adjust’ Rs. 5 lakhs to 7 lakhs for another party’s candidates in our poll expenses. Naganna refused to do so and walked away.<br />
      Just as he got into his van, 4 men dressed in black, wearing black helmets with dark visors attacked him from both sides. A baseball bat was shoved in from one window which bruised Naganna in the face - but he was quick to grab the bat, get out from the other side and chase one of them with the bat. In the skirmish that followed, Naganna sustained injuries on his hands and legs also - but the thugs managed to escape in an old blue Maruti van. Tanmay &amp; co were spotted watching all this and then they rushed to get into an auto and vanish.</p>
<p>      When we all joined forces in the morning on Sunday and went to the Police Station to lodge a complaint, we found Tanmay &amp; co also in the same Police station lodging a complaint on us ! Thereafter, we discovered that they had also lodged another complaint in another Police station on the events of the previous night claiming that Naganna had attacked Tanmay. And on Monday we got the news that they had conducted a press conference where they accused Naganna of various things and that the State committee has been dissolved.</p>
<p>      In view of all these events, many statements made by Tanmay and Chandrashekhar, during the last so many meetings and even just before the nominations were filed, assume a different significance now. Remarks like ‘it is very easy to get money during elections’, ‘just pay 5000 for the nomination deposit and the rest will automatically come to you’, ‘adjusting 5 or 10 lakhs (rupees) is not a big thing during elections’ etc. etc. The fact that during the Elections in Gujarat, while the campaigns were in full swing in Gujarat, the whole team flew in from Ahmedabad to Bangalore for 2 days just to meet us and were found having a party at the Leela Palace !</p>
<p>      May be this was due to some ‘adjustment’ ?</p>
<p>      It is now quite obvious to us that these founders of Lok Paritran have always had these intentions of making money during the elections as the primary purpose and all that ideology etc is just eyewash.<br />
      We always felt, that, even though the founders had a horrible dress sense, were quite often rude and rough with members - we felt this was due to immaturity and that they would learn in the course of time - but we never doubted their integrity and morals. Alas, we have been proved wrong.<br />
      However, every single active member of our Bangalore unit as well as all the candidates (except Nalin Jain who contested from Gandhinagar constituency, who happens to be Tanmay’s close associate) have expressed their solidarity with Naganna and the state committee. Those of you who know us personally or have met us will know who is speaking the truth.</p>
<p>      *We assure you all that all of us in the State committee, District committee and all the 10 candidates have been true to the ideology of Lok Paritran, are non-corrupt, are transparent in our actions and accountable for our actions totally - and will continue to be so.</p>
<p>      * Some other facts that you all should be aware of :<br />
      Tanmay and Chandrashekhar are own brothers - but Chandrashekhar never writes Rajpurohit after his name (probably to hide this fact)<br />
      Dheeraj Kumar who is on the national committee is a cousin of Tanmay.<br />
      Santanagopalan and Srikant Chakravarti - who are also on the National committee are cousins of Tanmay.<br />
      So, the national committee is a family affair now.<br />
      (That is transparency for all of us !)</p>
<p>      The three or four of the other founders who were with Tanmay when the party was founded have all left (or were forced to leave).</p>
<p>      None of the National team answers their phones on Tuesday !!! (Seriously, we are not joking) - they did not want any of the candidates to file their nominations on Tuesday this time in Bangalore - but some did anyway. (May be they don’t teach about superstitions in IIT ?)</p>
<p>      *What next for all of us and Lok Paritran ? *<br />
      We have decided to wait till the announcement of the poll results on May 25th before taking a final decision.<br />
      We feel this is not the end of it as the National committee has some more dirty tricks in their bag and will try and do some more damage to us in the next 10-15 days - but we will show them that they cannot get away with it anymore.</p>
<p>      Many many sincere thanks to all of you who have supported us in our endeavors and efforts in these last 2 years. We will continue to strive for good governance and removal of corruption - and we hope your support is there for us too….</p>
<p>      By the (ex) State Committee, (ex) District committee and our 10 candidates.<br />

<p>      This is very unfortunate but people across the country are very happy that LP’s (Looser Party) president Chandrashekar, GS Tanmay and Shantagopalan finally got bitten in karnataka. leagal advisor Srikant Chakravarti managed to disappear with the 4 gundas hired for Naganna. This was suppose to happen in Lucnow or Mumbai but they managed to escape.</p>
<p>      Now see who is with LP</p>
<p>      Tamilnadu - No one. LP’s founder misbehave with them and they all are in the process of merging with BPD (Bharat punarnirman dal).</p>
<p>      Andharapradesh - No One. They are already with BPD.</p>
<p>      Karnataka - Only one and that is Nalin Jain. I don’t think people of karnataka will give any value to a Rajsthani.</p>
<p>      Delhi - Sharma was taking care of Delhi unit but LP’s founders abused him and he left the party with Delhi unit.</p>
<p>      Gujrat - No one. Molik Bhatt (LP Candidate from Maninagar) got bitten by LP’s founders and he is no more with LP.</p>
<p>      UP - None. Two Candidates fought Assembly election under lok paritran banner but now athey are not with LP but BPD. They are finished in UP.</p>
<p>      Maharastra - All joined BPD. No base at all for LP.</p>
<p>      Finally, all are happy with the news that LP founders got bitten badly in Karnataka and in the process of forming another group or joining with BPD.</p>
<p>      List of members in Lok Paritran<br />
      —————————————<br />
      1. Chandrashekar Rajpurohit – President<br />
      2. Tanmay Rajpurohit – General Secretary.<br />
      3. Shantagopalan – No post. Can say Spoon of above two.<br />

<p>      Dear Sir,<br />
      I thought that LP was a better party than the others… with all of those from IITs and IIMs founding a party, I definitely thought that it would do some thing good to the country and its people. But looking at this fight i dont think that you are any different from the other parties. Good that less people know about your party and hence less number are fooled by your dedication towards politics and that towards the country.<br />
      Thanking you and hoping that you dont even win a single seat in the current elections (because u dont deserve to win any).<br />
      And by the way i know that this comment will not be moderated as it is against LP….<br />

<p>      Dear all,<br />
      Just one clarification :<br />
      Professionals in Bangalore who were ’supporting’ or ‘campaigning’ for LP was actually doing it because of some of the candidates who have good credibility in Bangalore. LP just happened to be the platform on which they were contesting. The party was immaterial.<br />
      We would have even campaigned for them if they had contested on the Congress symbol, because we felt that we needed some different from other regular politicians.<br />
      In fact I heard about LP only from one of the candidates who invited me to join them.<br />
      I would be only glad to work these people (the 10 candidates) because of their credibility and determination to create a difference to politics.<br />

<p>      Politics is to add the people and not to remove them. I have seen that n number of people joined LP but disappeared due to the behavior of LP’s founders. Now take example of Naganna (Ex Karnataka state president), He has done more work for LP than the founders. He is even more known in the public. Now LP’s founders are blaming that he is not a Graduate. Even if he is not then is LP is giving him job?? Is it written in LP constitution that only Graduate can hold post of President? Due to Nagana only LP exists in Karnatka and not due to LP’s founders. Why they didn’t check his certificate at the time of giving him president post? No one was taker of LP in Karnataka and today also no one is there to take care of LP in Karnataka. Through mail I came to know that all are supporting Naganna and no one is contacting LP’s founders. From LP’s founders only I heard about the murder case pending against Naganna. I just wanted to tell LP’s founder that if Indian law doesn’t have any issue with Naganna then why you are bothering. You should provide proof also other wise some day you may also get same changes by others. Respect others to get respect.</p>
<p>      through mail only I came to know that all the candidate have put their hard earned money and didn’t get even a single coins from LP’s founder as they promised. Most of the candidates are in depth of 50K to 75K. This is due to false promises by LP’s founders. I just wanted to tell you that all the members in Karnataka state unit including the entire candidate are very much true because they are not politician and they are as pure as any thing.</p>
<p>      LP Karnataka members are shocked but their moral is very high. They will be keeping continuing their work but not under LP banners.</p>

<p>      @ Ravindra: As I mentioned in another comment today, I will not tolerate any personal abuse and threats on this blog. I understand people (and LP supporters) are very upset and angry with the LP leadership but there are boundaries that should not be crossed in a civil dialogue. Your comment unfortunately crossed that limit.</p>
<p>      Please desist from such comments and do have a look at my comment moderation policy when you have a moment.<br />

<p>      Its very unfortunate to see the things turning up this way. I was devasted after hearing all about LP. It was the only party that I had a hope in. But it seems its not different than other parties. When I first met Tanmay in bangalore, in no way he sounded like a leader. He sounded more arogant and not listening to audiences. Even did not gave respect to elderly persons. How one can lead anybody without having this basic principle in life. Still this party made significant progress in Bangalore within short span of time, all the credit goes obviously to the disolved state committee. I owe my full support to the state unit. I remember a famous dialogue from film SARKAR ” taakat logonko jodane se milati hai, todane se nahi”..<br />

<p>      joined the party in the first place with hopes of seeing a better future for our society. All the volleys of accusations going around leaves a bad taste! However going on the work and dedication level, Bangalore LP has been doing a commendable job in comparison with the LP in other states or even the National party. From the interaction i have had with the members of the State party including Mr. Naganna when working with them for LP i know that they are men of integrity. I will any day back the state party. However th parties future is bleak.<br />

<p>      I read some of the comments and felt the disappointment you all feel…Let me unequivocally state…things will change and it will happen in our life time and in the next two decades. Whosoever i meet up, talk to; I can feel a surge of pasison for a change, desire for a change across the country and sooner or later this will turn into a national movement. My take is that the next election will see a powerful new front of passionate leaders wanting to lead the country to the rightful place it deserves….</p>

<p>      What a shame on Tanmay and chandrashekar, on the day i first met Tanmay, it was a press conference, he was so rude and carefree to the reporters, he did not even answer as a common man does, when this part was discussed when we met in the office later, Tanmay told some bull shit stories and said the reporters to do not be taken seriously. That day i did not understand his stand and now i do. I personally know how Mr Naganna, shashi, Ajit and team had worked hard for the cause of good governance and up against corruption. But shamefully the national team is comprised with such an anti-national elements. Naganna I am with you with full force.<br />

<p>      Its been a long time i am exprssing my views.I joind the party for the same reasons as of myfellow members.Initially I though that this party is going to change things with the kind of mission and vision it came up with and the way is started here in bangalore.But I just kept aloof for sometime just to wait and watch as I anticip[atyed somethig this this but definitely not so fast.They way we started working from the grassroot level with the superb decication form each and every core member was really commendable.When I met with the national team for the very first time I was quite disappointed as they were not integrated at all.The benifit that they had was operating from the national level.with units at various state.I wish thaey could have capitalised on this and would have made a strong base.But things went down the other way.Now the only option I see for the members of LP at bangalore either to join with another party to venture in politics or just set up another group with somethibg catchy that people will digest.The main attraction of LP was IIT and IIM now as that banner is removed i believe the only options are either to get someone from those institutions (impossible task) or keep working like NGO’s assisting people and gain populariy and trust of public and then contest in elections to gain a strong base and further work to the goal(removing corruption).I only wish all the luck to all members for all future endeavours and be be carefull about taking any steps forward.<br />

<p>      Hi,<br />
      I have doubt whether LP’s founders are really from IIT. They don’t know LP’s constitution also. They think that any state unit/Office can be started any time and dissolve any time. There is certain procedure for this. As per the constitution, national committee have to sent notice to the state unit and seek clarification of the issue and I have come to know that they have not done so far but they have announced in the media. They also think that LP is their parental property. Dear founders, the day party is registered with election commission its public property and not yours own.</p>
<p>      Today I came to know from website that a new office has been opened to do the business.</p>
<p>      ************<br />
      Lok Paritran is happy to announce a new and improved office in Karnataka. The Karnataka State office will be located in Bangalore and is open for business. The contact information is given below.<br />
      157, 12th Main, Nagendra Block, Bangalore - 560 050<br />
      Opposite Aiyappa Temple on 50 Ft Road<br />
      Contact #: 94489 85711<br />
      ***********************<br />
      I am confused whether they have opened the office to do the business or server the society. No No, its for the business what they did this time. In another 3 months there are possibility of Corporation election and later Parliamentary election and they can do better business.<br />
      As per the Raj comments, LP (desolved) should merge with another party or create a new organization. I feel this is very easy because what ever name LP have got due to Karnata State unit and not due to LP’s founders. As all are together they can set the things right very quickly but here question is what will happen if LP founders will continue in LP. They will be keep doing business on the name of IIT, keep shitting here and there so its better to finish them (Remove them from LP)politically so that in future they will not dare to open even NGO also.</p>
<p>      I believe Karntaka unit has a support of all the state units and together they will create history.</p>

<p>      Dear all,<br />
      Greetings! I am Cdr. (Retd) BB Khilari from Bangalore, who has contested the Assembly elections from Lok Paritran and awaiting results on 25 May 08. At the outset, I would like to inform you in right earnestness that you all are being totally ill-informed and mis-guided about Karnataka LP party by Tanmay Raj Purohit and his brother Chandrashekhar through LP website.</p>
<p>      You all may be surprised to know that if at all LP party noticeably exists in the country, it is the Karnataka unit, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Mr. BT Naganna, the erstwhile State President and Mr. Shashidhar Alabur, the Treasurer, who have been sweating it out for over two and a quarter years to spread the message of LP, without any recognisable support from the so-called National Committee of LP headed by the two brothers mentioned above.</p>
<p>      I only joined about six months ago, highly impressed by the ideology and vision portrayed by the party, and contributed my bit in its growth. However, you shall all be surprised to know that none of the National Committee members have helped any of the 11 candidates in the campaigning process even on a single day. Instead they were busy contacting the candidates one by one to adjust the poll expenses of Congress candidates into their accounts as the maximum expenditure of LP candidates was around 2 to 2.5 lakhs against the CEC allowed limit of 10 lakhs. The basic aim seems to have been to convert black money of the Congress candidates into white for their own self-aggrandisement.</p>
<p>      When I got the wind of this and when Tanmay Purohit and Chandrashekhar wanted to visit me alone at my residence, I refused and asked them to arrange a formal meeting at the party Hqs. Since none of the candidates, except perhaps, one, Nalin Jain, presumably their relative, and an unfit LP candidate projected by the National team, agreed to their nefarious demands, on 10th May, they invited Mr. Naganna, for a personal discussion at about 8.45 pm. and after the discussions, where in Mr. Naganna refused to influence any of the candidates accounts or make adjustments in the State accounts, and when Mr. Naganna was about to leave by his car he was attacked by three masked men from a car immediately behind his car with sticks and base ball bats. Naganna somehow managed to chase them away and went home and informed Mr. Shashidhar and others of the party (I have a message received at about 10.21 pm stating Naganna attacked by Tanmay and gang, be careful, saved in my mobile). The conspirators then went and lodged a complaint with police that Naganna had attacked them. However, Mr. Naganna, keepiung in mind, the reputation of the party had discussion with many a party members and candidates next morning and filed a complaint of assault in the evening.</p>
<p>      In the mean time on that day Chandrashekhar and Tanmay addressed a press conference ( all pre-planned, as you have to book in advance) to state that Mr. Naganna has been dismissed and the State unit of Lp has been dissolved, by slapping totally false and baseless charges against Naganna, an act which is also utterly illegal as no prior notice had been issued nor the National council meeting had been convened to take such a decision. Surprisingly, yesterday, when the state committee was holding its meeting from 1600 hours and extended upto 2000 hours Mr. Nalin Jain, in collusion with Tanmay and Chandrashekhar, lodged a complaint in a remote police station at about 1830 hours that Mr. Naganna, Mr. Shashidhar and Mr. Anuj Mishra, a candidate, along with 10 heavily armed goondas attacked him at his office and demanded Rs. six lakhs and to withdraw the complaint lodged by Tanmay against Naganna. I, along with others went to the Police station today and have told the Inspector that this complaint was absolutely false as all the 3 members accused were in a meeting with us the previous day at the alleged time of attack.</p>
<p>      The police have also confirmed that no one visited Nalin Jain’s office as alleged and are taking suitable action. I would like to inform you people that 10 candidates, including Naganna and myself, who contested the elections really sweated it out against corruption, in-efficiency and in-competency in governance and apathy of the administrative machinery towards citizens’ problems with un-imaginable sincerity and dedication and that too in our pre-decided limited budgets, which was appreciated alround. The acts of the National committee of LP came as a surprising blow to all of us and has done considerable damage in the eyes of the public. We have learnt with fgeat pains that these conspirators and the so called founders of LP have done similar acts in Tamil Nadu, UP, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Gujrat and have not promoted the cause for LP’s growth , but were mis-guiding every one , including those who are funding from abroad.</p>
<p>      Please convey this trurth to all those who you know and expose these mis-guided youths, who are younger to my children, and help me in pursuing my fight against corruption which is the original aim of this party.</p>
<p>      My E-mail ID is <a href="mailto:bbkhilari@yahoo.com">bbkhilari@yahoo.com</a> and you can contact me on 09342689574. Let us all together build a good society and a good governance.</p>

<p>      Dear JaiHind1, Rajeev, Sumanth, JaiHind, MGM, Sneha, Dnyanesh, Sridhar, Raj and Cdr Khilari: Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and comments.</p>
<p>      This is a very sad episode and does nothing at all to build trust in efforts to cleanse and reform the system.</p>
<p>      I hope other new outfits (like BPD, Loksatta) etc avoid this kind of infighting and ugly politics…</p>
<p>      We need change - now.<br />

      Jai Hind, on May 20th, 2008 at 2:12 pm Said:</p>
<p>      Dear Shantanu,<br />
      I am with you. What I feel that all the fights are going on which is good because it helps to filter the people and things. Even if this is not good for LP but for other like BPD, Lok Satta etc, will help to improve the things. I heard that Lok Paritran got more than 30000 vote in Tamilnadu assembly election 2 years ago. Later I came to know that Ajit Shukla (now BPD founder) was behind the success because there also Tanmay created huge problem but some how Ajit managed it. I also came to know that the day when Ajit Shukla came out from Lok Paritran, it started dieing slowly and as a result LP was able to file only two candidates and each got around 150 votes. In Gujrat only one candidate even if entire LP national team was in Gujrat for more than two months. There also some how they managed to get around 125 Votes. In Karnata LP managed to get 11 candidate and this credit goes to Karnata State Prisident Sri Nagana and not to the LP founders.</p>
<p>      LP founders are very rude and they never answer any question properly. If they don’t know they will answer some thing else and when you ask they will tell you, you don’t have that much maturity to understand and it will take time to understand it. So many LP members have complained about it.</p>
<p>      I feel if LP founders don’t change their attitude they will finish soon and even getting job for 4th grade will be difficult for them. Any way 99% they are finished.</p>
<p>      Jai Hind<br />

      Cdr. (Retd) BB KHIlari, on May 20th, 2008 at 3:00 pm Said:</p>
<p>      Dear Shantanu,</p>
<p>      Thank you for your kind comments. Through this forum I would like to state that if Tanamy Rajpurhit and Chandrashekhar really belong to the highly respected Alumni of the IIT’ians and honour them, they should come forward and accept their folly and gracefully resign from the primary membership of the party along with all the members of the National executive committee of LP.If they do so, as an elderly person of the party, I shall pardon them for all their mis-endeavors so far, and assure them that no member of the party or any Bangalorean, there are lakhs of them who appreciated our efforts, shall cause any harm to them when they are repenting thus in front of the press. I shall also make best efforts to see that legal actions initiated against them so far are also dealt with leniently. This will ensure restoration of public faith in LP for the purpose for which it was launched and all the breakaway groups, abandoned groups/individuals of earsttwhile LP as well as other smaller groups/parties with similar ideology and vision can all join together to form a strong united national force to transform politics and Governance in our country. I know that it is a “TALL” demand; but the time to think thus is “Right Now” and if everyone associated with this page thinks deeply and responds, we would have contributed immensely to the dreams of all of us, including Mr. Sanjeev Sabhlok, who may not have to wait too long to genuinely form his team of 1500 capable volunteers of freedom movement..</p>
<p>      If they do not come forward for repentance and act as I have suggested, I can only say that that they shall be ruining their lives at such an young age, as truth alone shall triumph over all mis-deeds. We shall also miss a Golden opportunity to unite all like-minded groups to form a united national force to transform India; and, further, the IIT Alumni may permanently have a black mark on its credibility vis-a-vis values and ethics in life just because of these individuals. I request all bloggers, friends and others who were quite concerned about the future of LP and such other outfits to think and see positively in this manner and by the grace of God and our collective thought and action we shall succeed.</p>
<p>      Warm Regards,</p>
<p>      Cdr. (Retd) BB Khilari</p>
