Position of the Swatantra Bharat Paksha for the Lok Sabha elections 2014

       Swatantra Bharat Paksha (SBP) is the only liberal party in the country. It has prepared a cogent manifesto that not only responds to all the problems in the country but is also internally consistent. As it is we find that none of the political parties are in a position to pursue the kind of liberal agenda that SBP supports and the people at large are not prepared for accepting the vision of the SBP. On the contrary all the parties are moving towards currying favour of the poor, hungry and the minorities as also catering to the needs of the ‘rurban’ classes.

      Under these circumstances, the SBP decides to abstain from taking part in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. However, the Shetakari Sanghatana activists are free to contest the elections with the support of any party of their preference as also help in every way possible the candidates so contesting the elections.

       SBP will, however, continue to be an active member of the liberal alliance and try its best to ensure that the liberal programme becomes acceptable to the nation at large at an early date.
