Welfare Party of India, Alappuzha

Value-based Politics: Party shall try to promote an alternative politics in the country that is firmly rooted in high standards of morality and ethical values and that is free from crimes, corruption, selfishness and all kinds of narrow-minded prejudices. It will require making effective the mechanisms of accountability and transparency at all levels of public life and ensuring that authority and power are always coupled with an equal magnitude of responsibility and answerability, and flawless character become the prime-most prerequisites for political representation.
The Idea of a Welfare State:Party will aim at the establishment of a welfare state. Party believes that sufficient nutritious food, decent clothing, proper shelter, essential healthcare and elementary education are among the fundamental human rights and it is the duty of a welfare state to fulfil these basic needs of each of its citizens.
Development with Justice and Equality: Party envisages speedy growth in industry, trade, commerce and the national economy. But it shall try to reform the economy in a way as to ensure that the processes of development and wealth creation are properly regulated by the obligations of justice and equality. Humanity and human beings get precedence over economy and capital. Concentration of wealth is curbed and all the Indians get benefitted from the fruits of development. Economic development should also uplift the backward and downtrodden sections along with the industrialists and businessmen. Concerns for sustainability and the protection of environment should also formulate an important regulator of the development.
Democracy, Pluralism and Inclusiveness: Party shall promote the true spirit of democracy. Party believes in democracy not in the sense of mere majorityism but in the sense of inclusiveness and pluralism. A true democratic society is one that addresses the needs and demands of every section of the society and that ensures that every section contentedly fulfils its aspirations. The ideal society that party envisages will be founded on the notion of universal human brotherhood. It will make people of India grow above the narrow discriminations based on caste, community, region and language and nourish the spirit of unity in diversity. This notion of universal brotherhood implies that a warm hand of cooperation is raised to the weak and oppressed sections of the society and minorities, they are uplifted through special measures and affirmative actions and it is ensured that they get a dignified place in society and do not lag behind in the race of progress. It also implies that women should get full growth and development opportunities with full protection to their feminity.
Cultural Federalism: Party envisages a society where all cultures have full opportunities to thrive and develop. The concept of federalism that party believes covers the cultural federalism along with geographic and linguistic federalism. What it means is, in a culturally diverse society like India, all cultural entities should get fullest opportunities, resources and powers to protect and promote their cultural values and identities. The Party proposes a notion of democracy where the rights of cultural groups are also protected along with the rights of individuals
