DELHI, India -- Entering the political fray on the principles of transparent democracy and accountable polity, Nav Bharat Democratic Party (Nav Bharat) was launched here today. Nav Bharat is a new generation political party with a mission to re-energize India through sustained economic development, a socially progressive agenda and an accountable government. Nav Bharat got its recognition from the Election Commission of India in June this year. The party is in the process of identifying the capable and committed leaders of society to be fielded as its nominated representatives in the 2014 General Elections.

Nav Bharat’s political strategy and development agenda is generating significant interest and attracting members from various walks of life including veteran politicians who find their parties opportunistic and high command centric, successful entrepreneurs who are dismayed at seeing the country miss opportunities for growth, working professionals who realize that their disengagement has led to politics becoming a business for the corrupt and criminals, and the youth who feels politically orphaned owing to an uncertain future defined by vote bank and poverty perpetuating politics.

Putting forth the ideologies and agenda of Nav Bharat, RK Misra, President, said “Politics to Nav Bharat is an opportunity to serve and a patriotic responsibility to fulfill. The party aspires to be a broad based and inclusive political platform to represent the aspirations of the people from all sections of our society. Large sections of our people are disengaged. They feel alienated and unrepresented. Nav Bharat’s approach of transparent democracy with accountable polity will create a feeling of ownership, empowering them to meaningfully engage in the political process and governance.”
