Dr Jayaprakash Narayan, well-known as Loksatta JP, is all set to quit mainstream politics. JP is likely to make a formal announcement Tomorrow on the same. Unable to run the political party, JP said to have arrived at this conclusion. The movie, definitely, come as huge shocker to many as JP is regarded as tough man and on several occasions he himself stated that one needs patience in politics. A physician by training, a bureaucrat by profession, JP had quit his Indian Administrative Service to start Loksatta movement. Failing in politics could be considered as his first-ever failure in his entire life.

Kick started in 1996, Loksatta is a non-governmental organization and a non-partisan movement for democratic- political and governance- reforms in India. After bringing significant reforms across the nation in quick span of time and making big difference in people's lives. Its achievements include enactment of comprehensive Right to Information Act, 2005 where Loksatta played pivotal role in making it happen.

Due to its continuous efforts, the first Citizen's Charters with penalties for non-performance were introduced in Andhra Pradesh. Loksatta was keen on cleaning up the electoral process, decriminalizing politics and changing the nature of incentives in public office. While it was successful to an extent, JP floated a political party, Loksatta Party (LSP), on the same name of the NGO in 2006.

This in turn affected both the party and the ngo. Several intellectuals, celebrities who supported JP till then started distancing from him. Though JP fought all battles and even elected as MLA from Kukatpally constituency in 2009, nothing worked in favour of him or his party. He himself was defeated in 2014 general polls. Presently serving as party's national president, JP reportedly decided to quit politics and work as a NGO.

JP's political party was criticized for the failure of its second-rank leadership. JP was the only face of the party. Though several names were there, JP was only popular public figure in the party which didn't work. Even when actors like Pawan Kalyan openly expressed admiration for JP's party and its ideology, the party's fortunes didn't change. Baahubali director SS Rajamouli, award-winning lyric writer Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry were few among the party sympathizers. Looks like, Loksatta Party has come to an end. This yet again proved that good politics is not that easy.

JP is the least cast fanatic among the politicians in ap..
That is also one of the reasons he couldn't make an impact as a political party.
Everyone talks about development and good leader but end of tbe day votes for his caste related party
