New (Ethical ?) Political Parties

There are more than 15 'new' (ethical) political parties, who may be fielding candidates in the Lok Sabha elections. Please find a list below.

From what I know, Loksatta is one of the most impressive among them, with a grassroots movement backing it. However, it is not clear whether it will win any seats this time. It does not figure as a major factor in AP, even though Praja Rajyam does.
