Economic Survey 2025-26 Targets RTI Act, Suggests Ministerial Veto To Deny Information
After a decade of existence and showing the scars of legislative fetters on its working, the Right to Information (RTI) Act has attracted adverse attention in the Economic Survey 2025-26. The survey frowns on the law as posing a risk of becoming an end in itself with disclosure celebrated regardless of its contribution to good governance. The survey does acknowledge the wide perception of the law as one of Indias most powerful democratic reforms but makes a suggestion for a ministerial veto to deny information. What remains of the RTI Act is a pale shadow of its original self. The bureaucracy was smarting at the prospect of forced disclosures when the law was enacted under the UPA, led by Manmohan Singh, who, ironically, later spoke of the need for a fine balance between the disclosure and the privacy of individuals. Before 2014, the BJPs RTI cell vowed to continue its campaigns even after the party came to power. It had already filed over 2,000 applications and used it to fuel its legal cases, such as the one alleging impropriety in the Commonwealth Games preparations of 2010. After the NDA came to power, its appetite for openness disappeared. Although the Act exempts personal information under Section 8(1)(j), where it has no public interest or would cause unwarranted intrusion into the privacy of an individual, the government viewed it as a potent weapon in the hands of transparency activists. The law made access to information possible for any citizen, on a par with the information that could not be denied to Parliament and state legislatures. That well-thought-out provision was buried through the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, which amended the RTI, although the judgement that was used as the basis, the Supreme Courts Puttaswamy order, did contain ways to preserve the right to information. That was done by including the test of public interest while safeguarding the privacy of personal data. Misguided emphasis: The focus of the Economic Survey is on changes to the RTI Act that would narrow the scope of information requests and virtually cut the laws feet to make it stand no taller than the less-empowering legislation abroad. What seems to appeal most to the surveys authors are exclusions that it cites in the US law, such as personnel rules, inter-agency memos, and financial regulation reports; in the UK, on policy formulation, where public interest may be harmedwith a ministerial veto available against court orders; and in South Africa, where policy deliberations are said to be excluded. What is particularly disconcerting to the survey is the inclusion in the RTI Act of file notings, internal opinions, and draft memos, a level of openness that it thinks could inhibit officials from expressing bold ideas. This is counter-intuitive, since officials with bold ideas that have been carefully considered would like to place them before the public to force the much-needed change in decision-making processes. There is also evident anxiety in the survey about access provisions. For one, it cites the Girish Ramchandra Deshpande judgement of 2013 to underscore judicial protection to keep personal records of a public servant secret, in spite of protection already contained for such information under Sec.8 (1) (j). The survey wants casual requests that add little value to public interest on things such as service records, transfers, and confidential staff reports excluded. An alarming recommendation is a narrowly defined ministerial veto, subject to parliamentary oversight, to guard against disclosures that could unduly constrain governance. The Supreme Court ruled on unfilled vacancies in various Information Commissions (IC) that create mountains of pending appeals. Last year, the court heard that there were 28,000 appeals yet to be taken up, and, in spite of giving an undertaking to fill the Central Information Commission vacancies in three months, the Union government went about it leisurely. Nationally, four lakh appeals were pending in October 2025. In the dark: Failure to advance the RTI, so vital to improving governance, finds no mention in the survey. It could have expressed worry, for instance, that failure to implement proactive disclosure of official records under Section 4 has enfeebled the Act. Even where public interest calls for the disclosure of taxpayer-funded schemes and contracts, government departments and agencies deny requests, citing exemption of third-party information. Few Information Officers get penalised. At another level, the lack of protection for those who use the law has resulted in assaults, police cases, and even murder of applicants, besides intimidation. In Gujarat, for example, less than 45% of the RTI applications received a response since 2019, says the Mahiti Adhikar Manch, while the states Information Commission imposed a lifelong ban on ten people from seeking information four years ago because they filed multiple queries, were cantankerous or were harassing government officials. Seven State Information Commissions were defunct for various periods during 2023-24. The survey could have deplored the hobbling of the RTI in multiple ways. Six years ago, the Union government introduced amendments empowering it to make rules on tenure, salaries and post-retirement benefits of the ICs, dangling a sword over their heads. Recently, even a dissent note from the Leader of the Opposition on the appointment of the Chief Information Commissioner and Information Commissioners could not be accessed, and the Supreme Court saw no merit in a plea to direct its publication. Just days ago, the apex court was told that Jharkhand, where the IC failed to work for years at a time, would appoint commissioners by February end. Maharashtra failed to add commissioner posts to dispose of pending appeals, prompting the court to order the addition of three. In Himachal Pradesh, the appointment process was restarted because suitable candidates did not apply. None of these concerns figure in the survey. The writer is a senior journalist.

Gorakhpur, February 14: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, Today Gorakhpur reflects as a model that demonstrates how development takes place. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh is proving how development should be carried out. Today, Gorakhpur has everything and so does Uttar Pradesh. CM Yogi was addressing a public gathering after inaugurating the citys fifth 'Kalyan Mandapam' in Bichhiya Colony of Ward No. 22, Jungle Tulsiram. The Kalyan Mandapam is being constructed by the Gorakhpur Development Authority at a cost of 2.47 crore from the Chief Ministers MLA development fund. During the inauguration ceremony, the CM extended greetings and best wishes to the people on the occasion of Mahashivratri. He said, Development works are being carried out at every level. The budgets of both the central and state governments include numerous schemes for youth, women and every section of society. As these schemes are rolled out from time to time, their benefits will reach not only the people of the state but also the residents of Gorakhpur. 2.47 ( ) EWS/LIG - pic.twitter.com/YP9vFyVJYy Yogi Adityanath (@myogiadityanath) February 14, 2026 Utility of Kalyan Mandapams Explaining the need and importance of Kalyan Mandapams, CM Yogi said, 15 to 20 years ago, weddings were often organised by putting up tents on roads. At that time, population density and traffic were low, so it did not cause major problems. However, today both the host side and the guests require proper venues that do not inconvenience anyone. Not everyone can afford expensive hotels or marriage halls. Kalyan Mandapams now offer facilities similar to hotels and marriage halls at minimal user charges. Their utility has further increased as thousands of weddings often take place on the same day. The Chief Minister informed that five Kalyan Mandapams have already been completed in Gorakhpur city. In addition, five more are under construction in Jungle Beni Madhav, Basharatpur, Nakaha Number Two, Mahadev Jharkhandi and Semra. He said that he has contributed funds from his MLA quota for most of these projects. For the newly inaugurated Bichhiya Kalyan Mandapam, he contributed 2 crore from his MLA fund. He added that funds from the municipal corporation, development authority and allocations of councillors, the mayor, MLAs and MPs are also being utilised for civic works. Kalyan Mandapams will truly benefit the poor and also generate employment. Transformation of Bichhiya area CM Yogi said, Everyone is aware of the earlier condition of Bichhiya, which faced problems of poor roads and waterlogging. Today, the roads are such that traffic jams will no longer occur. The Goddhoiyaa drain passing through the area, which earlier remained clogged with sludge and caused waterlogging during the monsoon, is now set to become a model of drainage management. Once the drain is completed and the sewage treatment plant becomes operational, people will visit the area to see it. Bichhiya is emerging as a new model of good roads and effective drainage. Chief Minister said that housing facilities are now being provided to every section of society. In Rapti Nagar Extension, a sports complex is being developed along with housing facilities for all income groups. Similar housing schemes are being implemented in other areas as well. A large housing project is also coming up near Maniram. Infrastructure and connectivity push CM Yogi said, Gorakhpur now has all essential facilities. An AIIMS has been established, the medical college has been strengthened, and the fertilizer factory has resumed operations. The city is connected by good roads and four-lane highways in all directions. There are four-lane roads connecting Gorakhpur to Lucknow, Varanasi, Nepal, Deoria and Kushinagar. Bypass roads are also being constructed, which will ensure that traffic congestion does not occur. He emphasised that traffic jams lead to stagnation and therefore Gorakhpur must be made congestion-free. He appreciated the continuous cooperation of the people of Gorakhpur, which has contributed to positive development outcomes. Industries are now also being set up in the city. Call for cleanliness and environmental protection Appealing to the public to pay special attention to cleanliness, CM Yogi said, As the Prime Minister had pointed out, previous governments encouraged corruption and brought disease. We have curbed corruption and eliminated disease. Illnesses like encephalitis no longer exist. However, CM emphasised that maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is a collective responsibility. People should not litter roads or drains and should avoid the use of single-use plastic. The Chief Minister stressed that protecting the environment is essential for human well-being. Referring to the situation in Delhi, he said people there are forced to live in suffocating conditions, with very poor air quality causing eye irritation and breathing difficulties. Doctors advise the elderly, the sick and children to stay indoors. In contrast, Gorakhpur enjoys a clean and healthy environment. He said that when people fulfil their responsibility toward Mother Earth, nature will also bless them in return. Everyone must contribute by maintaining cleanliness, preventing damage to public property and ensuring others do the same. CM Yogi said, Ramgarh Tal has become a beautiful site, yet some people still litter the area with used plates and containers. This leads to unhygienic conditions, mosquito breeding and disease. Such behaviour must be stopped and if someone does not comply, the matter should be reported to the administration. He emphasised that a sense of collective responsibility is essential for development. Before the stage programme, CM Yogi formally inaugurated the Kalyan Mandapam by cutting the ribbon and inspected the facilities. On the stage, he distributed allotment certificates to 10 beneficiaries from the LIG and EWS categories under the Rapti Nagar Extension Sports City Scheme. Addressing the ceremony, Member of Parliament Ravi Kishan Shukla said, CM Yogi Adityanath has presented a historic budget for the development and welfare of all sections of society. Under his leadership, Uttar Pradesh is moving toward becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy. He said that a state once troubled by organised crime has now emerged as a top investment destination due to strong law and order. Welcoming the Chief Minister, Mayor Dr. Manglesh Srivastava said, The realisation of the Kalyan Mandapam concept is the result of CM Yogi Adityanaths visionary approach to social welfare. He added that the Chief Minister consistently works for the all-round development of Gorakhpur. The Mayor also presented details of completed and ongoing Kalyan Mandapam projects in the city.

Ranchi, February 13: Former Team India spinner and Aam Aadmi Party MP Harbhajan Singh has shared several tips for the Indian players ahead of the high-intensity India vs Pakistan clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka on February 15. Harbhajan Singh cautioned Team India against one of the Pakistani spinners and asked them to play him safe as he has the ability to turn the results in Pakistan's favour. Speaking to ANI over the India vs Pakistan ICC T20 World Cup 2026 clash, Harbhajan Singh said, India will win the match. Pakistan has a spinner, he is a good spinner, we have to play him safe... The Indian team is capable; it's a very good team. We hope they play the way they have always played, play without any pressure and wave the flag of victory. #WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand: On India-Pakistan upcoming match in T20 World Cup 2026, Former Indian cricketer and AAP MP Harbhajan Singh said, India will win the match. Pakistan has a spinner, he is a good spinner, we have to play him safe... The Indian team is capable; it's a pic.twitter.com/OtnFyrDuq5 ANI (@ANI) February 13, 2026 Cautions Team India The Pakistani spinner about whom Harbhajan is cautioning the Indian Cricket Team seems to be Usman Tariq, however, he did not mentioned any names. The only bowler in the Pakistani squad whom India will be facing for the first time is Usman Tariq. Indian players have faced the other bowlers in the Asia Cup 2025 and other tournaments earlier. Controversial Action Usman Tariq has been in the headlines lately due to his controversial bowling action. He has been accused of chucking the ball by the Australian cricketer Cameroon Green during the Pakistan vs Australia T20 Series in Pakistan. However, Usman Tariq came up with the clarification about the allegations and claimed that his action is legal and his round arm bowling is due to two elbows in his bowling hand. 'We've Already Done Preparation': Ishan Kishan On Facing Pakistan Spinner Usman Tariq Ahead Of Marquee IND vs PAK T20 WC Clash Anil Chaudhary Clears Action Former Indian umpire Anil Chaudhary also cleared Usman Tariq's bowling action and claimed he has a legal bowling action. He said that he recently saw the video of Usman Tariq and that he has a different but fair bowling action. He has a side-arm action and bowls with a pause and his action is a little different from other bowlers.
Following his side's win over Namibia in the ICC T20 World Cup, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan spoke on preparing for Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq's side action while facing Namibia skipper Gerhard Erasmus who had a sidearm action, saying that the preparation part is done already and it is time to watch the ball and play their natural game. Kishan's explosive 24-ball 61 with six fours and five sixes gave Team India a headstart, which helped them even during a middle-over slump as they finished with 209/9 courtesy fine knocks from him and Hardik Pandya, who also struck a fiery 28-ball 52. Later, Namibia did take the game on against Indian bowlers in the powerplay by attacking Indian pacers, but spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel threw their momentum off the rails, and the visitors were skittled out for merely 116. Speaking after the post-match presentation, Kishan said on preparing for Usman's sidearm action while facing Erasmus, an off-spinner with a sidearm action as well, saying that watching videos gives the team an idea of what to do, and the Namibian skipper's four-fer served as a great learning ahead of the clash against Pakistan on February 15. Ishan Kishan on questions related to Usman Tariq... There is nothing specific you have to prepare. We watch some videos to get an idea of what kind of bowling to expect, and then we play our natural game. @ishankishan51 #IshanKishan pic.twitter.com/g0fZ5AupP6 Ishan's (@IshanWK32) February 13, 2026 No, I think we have already done the preparation part, and now it is just time to watch the ball and play our natural game (on preparing to play Tariq). So if the ball is there, as a batter, we just feel like going in because it's a T20 game. And we are trying to set a good total on board. But we do have to believe in our strength as well. There's nothing like you have to prepare. I think at this level, we just watch a few videos, and we get an idea of what kind of bowling is going to happen. So we are just keeping it simple. Yeah, he bowled pretty well today, and I think there was quite a bit of learning for us for our team as well today, he said. Ishan also said that while the team felt the pitch was flat, the ball was holding up a bit initially, making it tough to go for fours and sixes. The pair of Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan decided to take their time and look for bad balls. Speaking on how his mindset has changed following his landmark maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) Trophy win with Jharkhand as a captain last year, which helped him storm back into the team, the left-hander feels he is a changed man and focuses more on his craft rather than joking around and having fun, something he used to do all the time, but now does just for two-three hours. I think I am a changed man now, to be honest. I don't get into it too much, but I do enjoy jokes and everything. I do it, but earlier I used to do it 24x7, but now it is just two-three hours of it. So I am just focusing more on batting and my wicket-keeping, which is going to help the team and which is going to help me. Everything is secondary, he added. After a blazing 24-ball 61 by Ishan and a 28-ball 52 by Hardik took India to 209/9 despite a four-fer from skipper Gerald Erasmus, India were challenged by Namibia well in the powerplay, as the visitors ended that phase at 57/1. From there, Varun Chakravarthy (3/7 in two overs), Axar Patel (2/20 in three overs) and Hardik Pandya (2/21 in four overs) turned the tide in India's favour, skittling Namibia out for 116 runs in 18.2 overs. India is at the top of Group A, with two wins in two matches, followed by Pakistan, with the same win-loss ratio.
