Lok Paritran - Part 3

Lok Paritran has decided to field candidates in the forthcoming elections in Tamil Nadu - initial reports suggest that a Mr.SanthanaGopalan will contest from Mylapore, Chennai.

Lok Paritran is planning its first fund-raising campaign on 30th and 31st of March along the Old Mahabalipuram Road in front of some of the IT majors. They are hoping to get a good amount of support from the young, enthusiastic software professionals. Their target audience are people working in Infosys, TCS, CTS and the like.

I was asked to make sure that this news reaches out to almost everyone interested in Lok Paritran. I would request the kind readers to circulate this news.


Let us do our best and donate generously for the noble cause.

And something I wasn't asked to pass on but feel is more important than even supporting the fundraiser- people of Mylapore (and any other constituency that they may field candidates in), the only way that they can win the elections or at least make an impact is if the educated-upper middle class and urban youth vote. A mere 50-60% voter turnout will not help the Lok Paritran. Lets donate and lets vote. Let us do our bit for the country.
