Loksatta Guarantee: ‘Surajya’ in Towns and Cities

In our cities, basic amenities, such as clean drinking water, proper sanitation, roads and
other public services, are in decrepit condition.
Absence of quality public transport, traffic problems, land grabbing, settlements, illegal constructions, theft, and kidnappings have ruined city life.
Lok Satta party will focus on these problems and usher-in good urban governance.

To ensure quality living conditions Lok Satta government will guarantee:
  • Clean and safe water supply (you will not need to depend on water bottles from private
    suppliers).

    more affordable)
  • Quality Sanitation (no more heaps of garbage and contaminated water)
  • Ward government for local services (people will not have to run around government
    offices)
  • Citizen Charter for all public services (accessing services without becoming a victim of
    corrupt practices)
All Municipalities and Corporations will get an additional Rs 1000 per-capita every year.
For a population of 1 lakh, the municipality will receive Rs. 10 crores as an additional
grant.
Similarly, for a population of 10 lakhs, the corporation will receive 100 crores as
an additional grant.

13) Establishing Ward Governments
  • Lok Satta government will guarantee an elected ward government will be created for
    every ward. Rs. 500 per capita will be granted by the Lok Satta Government to each ward
    government to immediately address the needs of people.
14) Quality Public Transport
  • Lok Satta government will guarantee a dependable and efficient public transport
    system.
15) Lok Satta Party’s ‘Bharosa’ for Lowering Crime
