Re: [IAC#RG] Poll compulsions make Congress Party agree for RTI

This is good news indeed. But, the Congress Party will first have to abide by publishing their section 4 disclosure on the website and name its PIO (Public Information Officer).

The REAL REASON why Congress will NEVER abide by RTI is the NATIONAL HERALD SCAM.

Subramaniam Swamy has approached a trial court/Magistrate in a private complaint. He was given a date in July. Once again (like Vadra -DLF) Congress Party will say its a "private" sale between private parties. But the CIC decision exposes that by making out a case that the Congress Party is a PUBLIC Authority --- and by extension it was PUBLIC money loaned to National Herald so that Rahul Gandhi (TheYoung Indian) could purchase the 2,000cr property for a song.

Poll compulsions make Congress Party agree for RTI

In a bold development triggered by electoral compulsions to clean up its battered image as the party of scamsters, the Indian National Congress Party has agreed to abide by a Central Information Commission decision and accept RTI applications from the public.

The office of Moti Lal Vora (Treasurer AICC), had informed this reporter that Demand Drafts for RTI requests and other fees could be made out in name of "Chief Accountant-cum-Administrative Officer, All India Congress Committee" payable at New Delhi and sent to "Shri S.M. Moin, Chief Accountant, All India Congress Committee, 24 Akbar Road, New Delhi" along with details of the information sought not exceeding 500 words.

It was further clarified to this reporter that Smt Sonia Gandhi President AICC, and originator of India's landmark RTI Act - a key component of Congress Party's "war on corruption", has specifically instructed for maximum dislcosure by Congress Party to RTI applicants, but mode and sources of finance and also selection of party candidates, would not be disclosed as these are the commercial confidences and trade secrets of the party, and are already exempted from disclosure under the RTI Act. The Congress President has directed that if required the RTI Act would be amended to ensure better protection for intellectual property and trade secrets of corporate bodies like the Congress party.

It may be recalled that activist Subhash Chandra Agrawal of the Aam Aadmi Party has brought 6 national political parties in RTI scope and sought the details of their funding and mode of selection of candidates.
