Lok Satta has Veerappa Moily's support!!

The newly appointed All India Congress Committee incharge for Andhra Pradesh affairs, Veerappa Moily might not know many leaders in the State Congress, but he certainly has friends in the Opposition parties, including Yerran Naidu of Telugu Desam and Jayaprakash Narayana of Lok Satta.

In fact, Jayaprakash Narayana has been a close associate of Veerappa Moily for quite a long time. He was a member of the Administrative Reforms Commission, of which Moily was the chairman. After launching the political party, JP quit the Commission, but has been maintaining good relationship with Moily. And Moily too had extended his support to Lok Satta party and described it as a fresh air in the present murky political atmosphere.

Now that Veerappa Moily would be coming to Andhra Pradesh quite often, the Congress leaders are worried whether he would continue his relationship with JP. However, Lok Satta is not a force to reckon with so far and it is unlikely that Moily-JP friendship has any bearing on the Congress prospects in the next elections.
