Congress Accuses BJP of Undermining Right to Information Act, Threatening Transparency

Jharkhand Congress chief Keshav Mahto Kamlesh has accused the BJP government of undermining the RTI Act through 2019 amendments, citing restrictions on information access and control over information commissioners. He highlighted pending cases and unanswered queries on significant public spending and Covid-related data. State BJP countered by questioning the Congress-backed Jharkhand government’s inaction on its own Information Commission.
