It is really commendable that some right-thinking persons came together to present a political alternative to our country, which is suffering from corruption not only in political arena but in other all sectors as well. Politics for the sake of politics is no solution to the socio-political and economic ills we have been experiencing for decades. Politics based on values can prove the better option.
With a Christian priest as vice president and some Hindus as important functionaries, the Welfare Party of India launched on April 18 can really emerge as a viable alternative representing the plural fabric of society.
The condition of having clean image and a good record of rendering service to society can work as a successful measure to keep the persons who join a political party for personal gains away from the party.
