Patan Cheruvu primaries

Party organizes regular press meets during afternoons in the downstairs hall. My first press meet was special one, where Dr. JP announced Patan Cheruvu primaries results.

For the first time in India’s Parliamentary history, Lok Satta party conducted primary election between two candidates in the race for the party ticket to contest from Patancheru Assembly constituency. Satish Goud won with some 900 votes majority. Leaders on stage went on to discuss party's agenda. I felt Satish Goud would have been given chance to speak to media.

JP criticized populist schemes of other parties. One of the journalists asked opinion on comments of the leaders of some other parties. Dr. JP asked the journalists to know 'which party was right and is right agenda and support instead of supporting parties and which are bribing people with liquor and other schemes'. He asked them to start discussion on issues rather than the sensational news. He also asked them why did not media cover his Vizag trip happened in last week where 10 thousand people attended on their own, while they covered other functions.
