AAP slams Modi government for refusing to bring political parties under RTI

[IndianMascot]

The AAP on Monday termed the Centre's opposition towards bringing political parties under the ambit of the RTI as a "retrograde" step, saying that BJP had taken a "U-turn" on the issue.

Batting for the inclusion of political parties under the RTI, the AAP demanded a review of the government's stand. It said that the government should have called an all-party meeting before putting forth its view before the apex court.

"BJP leaders, who are now senior ministers in the Union cabinet, should look back and reflect on what they had stated in their public utterances when the then Congress-led UPA government had unsuccessfully attempted to amend the RTI Act in 2013, following the landmark Central Information Commission ruling on the subject.

Bjp and congress both have huge donation gainers
