The RTI Act was one of UPA’s / NAC’s signature achievements. It reverses the power gradient between citizen and state. Imagine the government opening up its files, including the Notings portion, to members of the public. That includes Cabinet notes, once the decision is taken. Only an administration with a clear conscience would do something like that. Why someone wants a particular piece of information is irrelevant, although it is probably true that some persons have used such information for purposes of blackmail. An applicant should not be required to prove locus before accessing information. These observations are thus reversing the broad thrust of the legislation over the past decade. Posts are being kept vacant. If one were to identify the converse of the spirit of the RTI Act, it would have to be Electoral Bonds.
