- The 8th All India Convention of Lok Raj Sangathan, having thoroughly discussed the report on activities of the organisation since the previous Convention, resolves to approve the report.
- Having thoroughly discussed the Manifesto of Lok Raj Sangathan “Come Let us take India’s Destiny into our hands” in all the organisations of the Lok Raj Sangathan, this Convention resolves to adopt it and vigorously agitate amongst the people on all the points put forth in the Program of Action.
- This Convention resolves to step up work of building the political unity of the people in the struggle for their basic necessities, in the struggle against the attempts of the ruling class to sow divisions amongst the people, and in the struggle for electoral and political reforms that will bring people to the center stage of decision making.
- This Convention resolves to utilize the Lok Sabha elections to widely propagate the necessity for people’s empowerment as the condition for people to ensure prosperity and security for all. This Convention notes that all across the country, people are expressing their dissatisfaction with the BJP, Congress and other such parties which have a track record of working for the corporate houses and against the interests of the people. People are seeking an alternative. In many constituencies, people are putting forth candidates who have a track record of fighting for the rights of the people, of opposing the communal division of society. This Convention resolves to actively support such candidates and work for their victory so that the voice of the people is heard in parliament.
- This Convention resolves to step up work to increase membership, strengthen the existing organisations of LRS and build new ones, and redouble our efforts to organise all sections of the people for their rights and for their empowerment.
