Lok Satta Party national President Dr Jayaprakash Narayan on Sunday demanded that Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh resign immediately as he had lost the moral right to rule the country even for a day longer.
“The sooner he quits the better it is for the politics, economy and governance of the country,” he said.
Commenting on the outcome of the Rajasthan, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh Assembly elections, JP asked the Prime Minister to appreciate that the people had unequivocally rejected the Congress which had ruined the economy, divided the country, and was steeped in monumental corruption and dynastic politics.
JP said the Aam Admi Party’s spectacular show marked the beginning of the end of traditional politics.
“It is a victory for the movement launched by the Lok Satta Party 17 years ago for ushering in alternative politics. The traditional parties should introspect and mend their politics instead of viewing AAP’s performance as a political challenge. They should recognize that the days of garnering votes through vote buying, fielding criminals and perpetuating dynasties are over,” he said.
