Guwahati, March 2: Prodyut Bora, who resigned from the BJP and hoped to float Assam's "most ethical and performance-driven party", today published the ideology document of his proposed Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).

In the document, Bora talked of taking up regional issues but with the hope of expanding the party to other states gradually.

"Our party should temper our response to situations keeping in mind the ground realities in Assam. LDP would start off regionally in Assam but if we do well and our ideas are acceptable to the rest of the country, there is no reason why we cannot expand nationally. However, wherever we are present we would always be a local party," the ideology document said.

Bora, an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, was BJP's national executive member and former head of the party's IT cell. He quit the party on February 18 attributing his resignation, among others, to the party's style of functioning and "political corruption" in its Assam unit.

Bora published the document on Facebook, the social media he has been using to make public his views and plans of late. "This is a statement of ideology, not a document on programmes and policies," Bora said. The document points out the drawbacks Bora has seen in other political parties and the rationality of floating his party.

"A party like the CPM while very liberal socially, is very conservative on economic agenda. It does not believe in private enterprise. A party like the BJP is almost reverse, it believes in economic liberalism but is socially and culturally very conservative. The Congress is mostly centrist or status quoist. Most other parties are somewhere in between. Communism is a failed ideology," the document said.

"LDP would be liberal in terms of both social and economic agenda. The liberal part is that we would promote business and entrepreneurship as well as personal freedom. The democracy part refers to social democracy that we would promote social inclusion and welfare," it said.

On Saturday, Bora and his well-wishers started work on drafting a constitution for his proposed party. Yesterday, he sat with a group of intellectuals to get their views on party formation, and how to make it a success.

By the end of this week, he will release the constitution of his party on Facebook for suggestions and inputs from the public.

Ahead of the Assembly election to be held next year the proposed LDP will be competing for space with scores of parties in the state.

"There are also local parties operating in Karbi Anglong and the BTC," a politician said.

"I have said it earlier and I repeat today, do not expect miracles from us. We shall grow our organisation brick by brick and go about the task of building Assam in a systematic manner. Values are as important to us as the goals. So, (there will be) no shortcuts. It would be a long journey," Bora said.
