Politicians are corrupt, but we can select/reject them.
Babus/Bureaucrats are the main cancer. They are more powerful, collect bribes and have no accountability
We shared RTI information obtained by our member @MujeebAyyub yesterday regarding the ECI software used for SIR being treated as exempt from RTI Act as commercial confidence, trade secrets and intellectual property.
This information has now been published by several prominent national media houses today.
The story initially carried by @himansshhi in @htTweets.
We are bringing you more such information.

MHA declares information on the High-Level Committee on Demographic Changes “Confidential” U/s 8(1)(a) of the RTI Act, 2005.
It means information would harm India’s sovereignty, security, strategic or economic interests, foreign relations, etc.

What’s happening in AP? Complete breakdown of law and order.
Clashes erupted between two #TDP factions during ZPTC election nominations in Nandalur, Kadapa district. Both groups of the ruling party allegedly attacked each other with stones and sticks and one group fired six rounds in air. Several were injured and many vehicles burnt. #AndhraPradesh #APlocalbodyelections2026

Looking for #RTI information on government employees staff,vehicles, offices,travel allowances, salaries, housing allowances and all expenses by @GoI_MeitY.
Are salaries not being paid correctly for doing such lackluster regulatory standards?

10,672 complaints in 3 years shows where people got fed up, not how every road stands. A dashcam scan maps every Charminar Zone road start to end, counts potholes, marks utility cuts and grades each ward C0–C4. Open to a 15-min demo, @GHMCOnline? #Hyderabad

“RTI systematically weakened under BJP”: @AnjaliB_
Right To Information (RTI) was brought in by the UPA as a tool of transparency and for people to hold government accountable. With two amendments that compromise the autonomy of information commissioners and facilitate denial of information, the BJP-led NDA government has systematically weakened the RTI, claims activist Anjali Bhardwaj.

This week, we organised an online session on “Know Your Right to Information,” where Mr. Srinivas Kodali and Mr. S.Q. Masood spoke about the objectives and key features of the RTI Act and shared their experiences of using it.
We are creating a new generation of RTI activists by raising awareness about the RTI Act and how it can be used to address public issues, ensure government transparency and hold bureaucrats accountable.
We will continue to organise more such sessions in the coming days to encourage people to use the RTI Act effectively for public causes.

Gyanesh Kumar isn’t just an expert at “stealing votes” he’s also a genius at making sure RTI applications never actually get submitted. No RTI, no accountability. Brilliant system.
@ECISVEEP is systematically stopping citizens from filing petitions by making sure the applications get rejected over mysterious “technical issues.” You try to submit, it refuses to generate an RTI number, you try again, fail again, and after a few attempts the average citizen just gives up. Problem solved.
No wonder the BJP loves him so much!

This is nowadays common finding in #rtiportal on filing application. Registration no. is not generated, query unattended. Fee gets deducted but reconciliation takes more than 5 days. @RTI_Library @DoPTGoI @mygovindia

As an RTI activist, I find these numbers deeply concerning. Transparency and accountability are the backbone of democracy. Citizens have the right to know how public authorities function. Why are so many RTI applications being rejected?

After analyzing 540 rti documents from our RTI-Library and 2100 RTI replies sourced from 100+ RTI activists from Telangana,
Most refused RTIs and hot topics in Telangana, from RTI Library from 2023-2026:
🏛️ GHMC: 313 rejections (town planning staff, building permissions, illegal construction)
🚓 Police: 167 rejections (CCTV footage, FIR & e-petty case records)
🔍 ACB: 68 rejections (corruption case records & stats)
why these departments have such high rejection rates for these topics?

The RTI Act came into force in October 2005.
In the past 21 years, this important legislation has been systematically weakened not only by bureaucrats but also by political parties and Information Commission as well.
