Rahul Gandhi boasts on the introduction of RTI in 2005. But what was struggle made by Aruna roy and no body remembers her sacrificed life. Rahul Gandhi forgot India got freedom in 1947 and people are denied of this right until 2005 mean while indian were had no right of information most of this dark days were ruled by Congress and enjoyed dictator rule. Even to after RTI Act 2005 article introduced and till date there are not commissioners appointed adequately. Dubious claim by Congress for RTI is should be shame on the party because till date not all PIO s and appallete authorities are not trained even after 9 years of RTI introduction. Rahul Gandhi seamless utterance of RTI is more then the questions he faced. Arnab should have asked the same while he was dancing on RTI. 

Congress unable to digest the fact that they loose the elections

With Assembly polls in five crucial states just around the corner, the Congress today said it agrees with the Election Commission's views that opinion polls should be banned. According to the party, the process of opinion polls is neither scientific, nor transparent and that opinion polls can mislead the public.

"Opinion poll gives different opinions which misleads people," said Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi.

The Congress' stand comes in response to the Election Commission writing to all national parties on their views on opinion polls and whether they impact election results.

Opposition parties say that since the Congress is finding itself on the back foot in many of the recent opinion polls, they've changed their stance now to favour a ban.

"In which book of secularism is it written that it is wrong? The thing that Congress were supposed to do are being done by Narendra Modi. I don't think so anyone can stop someone from their opinion poll," BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi countered.

Alleging that the Congress is worried about the recent poll surveys, the Left's D Raja said, "Of course the Congress party has reasons to worry about the recent poll surveys which are coming out every now and then. The opinion polls show that the Congress party is declining and will be defeated."

Shiromani Akali Dal's Naresh Gujral also slammed the Congress for wanting a ban on opinion polls.

"The same Congress party was all for opinion polls when the wind was in their favour. Now that they are facing opposition from the people they are asking to ban opinion polls... When all other parties demanded a ban, congress did not pay heed to us," he said.

Five states including Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, will go to polls soon. It is being dubbed as a semi-final ahead of the general elections due by May next year. Most opinion polls say that Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit may just lose ground and Aam Aadmi Party may do well. Other surveys have given an edge to the BJP over Congress in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
