Lok Satta announces state-wide anti-corruption movement

People's Commission against Political Corruption

Are you tired of reading newspaper headlines on political corruption every day?

  • Do you know about a politician who is blatantly corrupt? Do you have some information on a public servant earning .tons of money. illegally?
  • Do you know about a public work, government project or a scheme where unscrupulous politicians, middle-men and contractors are misusing public money and resources?
  • Do you know about abuse of authority, land grab or blatant violation of public norms?
Our governments and political parties have utterly failed in catching and punishing those involved in serious, top-level corruption. Every once-in-a-while they make a show of catching the small-fry, but the big fish? They always managed to get away. Until now.

In order to highlight and combat the menace of corruption, Lok Satta Party has constituted a People's Commission against Corruption. The Commission will be chaired by Justice Ramanujan, former Lok Ayukta of AP. Other members of the Commission will be named in consultation with the Chairman within a week's time.

It is time, we, the citizens do our bit to uproot political corruption from our State. All you need to do is give us information about any corrupt politician, unscrupulous middlemen or about a scam in a public work. The best part is, you can do it in an easy, safe and anonymous manner!

People's Commission Against Corruption:

You can directly send your complaints to this Commission about:

  • Vast undisclosed assets of politicians and public servants (with as much documentary evidence as possible).
  • Gross acts of corruption by public servants in contracts, tenders, postings, transfers, etc.

  • Misuse and misappropriation of public money/resources; serious instances of cheating and fraud by public servants
  • Land grabbing; unjust allocation of land and land alienation (resulting in wrongful loss to public and/or wrongful gain to any individual)
  • All forms of irregularities in public works and contracts; major cases of over estimates; any case where tenders pertaining to public money is actually executed by a sub-contractor - at a cost of 80% or lower than the bid price.

  1. dear sir,
    Visakhapatnam 2 constituency MLA Mr. S. Rangaraju is engaged in an aggressive land grabbing in and around visakhapatnam city, threatening innocent and voice-less land owners using local police support to their mis-deeds.Where ever any vacant land which belongs to either poor or below middle class sections is present, it is an easy fray to this particular MLA and he tries to grab it either by force theatening to kill them by giving very low price. He has even violated in constructing a huge building in the centre of Dabagardens for his restaurent Amaravati Hotel next to Jupiter Honda showroom, visakhapatnam by not obtaining proper Plan approvals. He is even threatening MEDIA also, saying he is very close to chief minister. He never cares for any corporation city planning officials when they demand any approvals. He is a big goonda in visakhapatnam city. He must be punished in a proper manner

  2. I would like to add few sentences.
    May LSP conduct this around Vishakhaptnam and support teir agenda of educating the voter. Show them that they are being exploited. Enact through street play with mock names and tell them that this is the existing system and LSP ishere to bring change. All these should indirectly popularize LSP.

    May be the Information act can be extended and details about any public work like bridge construction date of initiation and expected date of comletion and amountinvolved etc should be kept hanging near the construction site.

    But any of these can boomerang if LSP people are not true and sincere to what they say.

    It will be disastrous
