Lok Paritran - Could this be a turning point in Indian Politics?

I heard the news close to six months back that few former IIT students have joined hands to start a political party and try achieve the impossible task of cleaning the rotten political system. But looking at its growing popularity among the younger generation who are so much vexed with the existing stupid politicians, I just get a feel that the educated elite from institutes like IIT are keen to change the scenario

Their ideas are simple - no fancy and insane promises like rice for Rs.2, free TV sets, and free electricity. They idea is to make India a corruption free country - many of us will laugh looking at the current politician barring few. But still, if given chance, if they can achieve 10% of their mission , I think that is going to be a significant milestone looking at the volume of corruption we have today.

Their campaigning style also looks very simple - without much fanfare or hooligan style people around shouting slogans. We have been seeing the same old faces, false promises, plundering of peoples money by the politicians and basically a do nothing when it comes to the welfare of people. Let us give chance to these fresh set of faces and help them to achieve their vision and wish that their ideologies remain unchanged irrespective of their growth.

The details about the party can be found at their website - http://lokparitran.org

It is not better then any other party. Favoritism based on caste is not even in 20 century political parties.
