The disaster & deaths will be blamed on ‘climate change’ & Cyclone Remal. It has become a norm to blame everything on climate change to hide the destructive ‘development’ that our govt agencies are pursuing by cutting down hills, quarrying & who-gives-a-damn-to-the-envt attitude

In violation of Pre-legislative consultation policy, govt did not make draft of Electoral Bond Scheme public before notifying it. Info obtained under RTI suggests proposal to hold consultations with political parties & seek public comments was scrapped after a meeting with the PM

As the #ElectoralBonds case comes up in SC & the Central govt says citizens don't have a right to know source of bonds, here's a 🧵 on papers accessed under RTI Act on how concerns of RBI & ECI were ignored & proposal for public consultations dropped after a meeting with the PM.
