Two Non-resident Indians (NRIs) joined the Lok Satta Party here today. Welcoming into the party fold of ‘two highly talented and professionally successful NRIs,’ Party President, Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, said the NRIs – Ms Hymavati Sagi Potineni (36) and Mr Dilip Sankar Reddy (31) have given up their jobs, lucrative incomes and a life of comfort and ease to serve the country. “Ms Hymavati, who took her B. E. from JNTU, Hyderabad and MS from the University of Toledo, USA., had served as a team leader in General Electric for two years and headed her own software firm for nine years while Mr. Sankar Reddy obtained his B. E. in Computer Science from PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore and MBA from Booth School of Business, Chicago.
“The country today needs thousands of such people to transform the nature of politics,’ Dr Narayan said adding that politics will remain rotten so long as men and women of competence and integrity do not enter politics and devote their time, energy and resources to cleanse it.UNI
