Lok Satta which is an NGO contested in 2009 elections. The party just managed to win one MLA. JP himself won as an MLA from Kukatpally. However the party managed a significant 2% vote share. However JP failed to bring any change even in his constituency for the period of next years. Following survey reports, JP did not contest from Kukatpally in 2014 elections. He contested from Malkajgiri MP where he failed to win deposit. The party also ended as inconsequential in the election losing all its vote share.
