Despite good intentions, Loksatta may not win even 5 seats due to illiteracy and established vote banks. Party has good leaders but lack of cadre will dent JP’s hopes in the next Assembly elections. Educated voters should vote for Loksatta candidates and so that it can echo our voice in the next Assembly. Intentions are good but chances are slim for Loksatta.
