Lok Satta, though, has only one MLA, Narayan, in the state assembly. It won 2 per cent of the vote in the state, cutting mainly into the support base of the Telugu Desam Party.

HYDERABAD: The Lok Satta Party may opt for a prepoll alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party in Andhra Pradesh , and its leader the former bureaucrat N Jayaprakash Narayan could consider a larger role in national politics by contesting a parliament seat.

Senior Lok Satta functionaries, speaking on condition of anonymity , said that even though opinion is divided among the cadres, a majority are in favour of joining forces with the BJP given the perception that the national mood is in favour of the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. With a platform based on corruption-free governance, Lok Satta is a forerunner to the Aam Aadmi Party which made a stunning electoral debut in Delhi.

Lok Satta, though, has only one MLA, Narayan, in the state assembly. It won 2 per cent of the vote in the state, cutting mainly into the support base of the Telugu Desam Party.

Many Lok Satta functionaries are of the view that the party's image, and its electoral prospects, have improved after the role it played in espousing special benefits for the Seemandhra region during the debate on the bill to bifurcate the state to create Telangana. Narayan admitted that a section of the party is in favour of joining hands with the BJP but no decision has been made.

"We are discussing about the best option for us to strengthen the forces of change or to accelerate the process of reforms. We are pretty agnostic about alliances when it comes to strengthening the elements of reforms. We worked earlier with NDA and UPA," he said.

On contesting the Lok Sabha election , he said, "There is some such expectation within the party as well as outside. A final decision is yet to be taken but we are open to it." Political analysts are of the view that alliance with the BJP could cost Lok Satta dear.

K Nageswar, independent member of the legislative council and professor of journalism at Osmania University, said prepoll alliances will mean a loss of the party's unique identity.

First he tries to build business relationship with the Chinese and then he provokes people against them. What kind of politics is this? If #feku thinks himself as a nationalist Indian, he should have avoided doing either of them

You sided Indian enemy for your personal hate for Modi. Shame on you.

Since Impotent leaders seating in delhi has no guts to tell china anything, a chief minister has to speak on behalf of nation.
