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

Surendra

Just ignore it and focus on real issues.

For 8 years we didn't have it and nothing changes by not having
parties in RTI. If we get it, its a bonus. Lets be clear, who brought
this amendment about in the first place- the F***ing NCPRI.

What I find really amazing is seeing Shailesh Gandhi (yes I am
remembering him with affection after a very long time) joining in this
tamasha with Sonia's pet poodles Aruna and Harsh Mander. I had hoped
that he had seen through such people and stop mingling with them, I
was wrong.

A leopard can't change its spots, Shailesh Gandhi after all is the
person who became an Information Commissioner (on Aruna Roy's recco
through Arvind Kejriwal and some other "eminent citizens") only as a
reward to keep quiet about things such as clinching evidence that
DoPT/PMO gave him under RTI that the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation was
undeniably a public authority in 2005-2006 (UPA-1 time), and also that
Arya Samaj and Ramakrishna Mission were also very heavily funded by
money diverted from PM Relief Fund in NDA time.
