RTI is too good a subject for public speeches. What solution does our Hon'blePrime Minister has when theState InformationCommissions refuce to perform and the State Governors does not bother about written complaint on the dismal performance of the SICs ? Hashe ever made any move to arrange to watch theperformanceof theSICs ?
