LUCKNOW, April 13 -- Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai on Sunday alleged that the BJP government diluted the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, to conceal what he termed 'its own corruption'. Rai was chairing the certificate distribution ceremony for the newly appointed district and city chairpersons of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee's RTI wing. "The Congress-led UPA-1 government under Manmohan Singh enacted the RTI Act in 2005, granting common people the right to seek information from the government and expose corruption. The Modi government has since diluted this law. Activists advocating for the Right to Information are being ensnared in fabricated legal cases to prevent the government's corruption from being exposed," he further alleged. Rai emphasised that the Congress is a party committed to democratic values. He alleged that the government is employing every possible stratagem to conceal its corruption. He placed the responsibility upon the office-bearers and workers of the party's Right to Information department to go out among the public and 'expose these tactics of the government'. htc...
