ECI refuses RTI details on CEC Gyanesh Kumars official visits, claims personal information

Saket Gokhale, a former MP, has alleged that the Election Commission is withholding information about CEC Gyanesh Kumar's official travel. The commission has referred to personal information provisions under the RTI Act to deny sharing financial details, which Gokhale contests. He expressed that expenses related to public duties should not fall under personal privacy, criticizing the Election Commission for a lack of transparency and accountability since Kumar took over.
