Lok Saththa's Jayaprakash Narayan has quite decent looks. Moreover, he was a former Indian public administrator who is also connected with some electoral reforms and Right to Information Act. However,some of his political decisions have been criticized. Moreover, he had taken a confused stand on state's bifurcation. JP contested as an MP from Malkajgiri constituency and was defeated badly. He got just 1.25 laksh votes from this constituency.
It is known that Rajamouli has extended his support to JP politically. Both are good friends as well. We have seen some ads of Lok Saththa in TV channels, which were reportedly directed by Rajamouli. When JP filed his nomination, Rajamouli was with him. Despite tollywood number one director's support, JP was defeated. Obviously, some of the people are treating JP's defeat is Rajamouli's defeat. However, Rajamouli was the happy man with the 1.25 lakhs of those voters, who cast their votes without seeking money and liquor. He tweeted as, " as for loksatta we completely failed in making people believe we are serious contenders.But I sincerely thank the few people who believed in loksatta and the 1 lakh 75thousand voters who voted for JP against money power. Your confidence will give the party strength 2 move forward."
