Governments in non-BJP-ruled states are also in a position to dispense favors to the private sector — or hold them back. Andy Mukherjee writes.

    @nit_set's report

  24. @nit_set 's reports and findings are hugely based on RTI information that Commodore Lokesh K Batra has been tirelessly working to get. It also exposes the Narendra Modi led BJP's agenda on weakening the RTI. And let's also not stop at this. What we have right now ka just a speck of what the BJP has actually done and what it intends to do to this country. There is much more. Much more than we can even imagine.
