At a time when India is ruled by crony oligarchy with the predominance of two-three business tycoons at the forefront of framing all public policies, taking all judicial decisions and a situation of mass censorship, the Right To Information Act (2005) has suffered major blows. As a democratic tool ensuring communication between the so-called “governed” and the “governing”, thus paving the way to accountable practices, RTI has been killed by the current group of religious fanatics, who rule India.
RTI DECEASED: THE STATE OF DEMOCRATIC UNFREEDOM
This sorry state of affairs of the RTI has been pointed out by a number of leaders from the Opposition, especially following the amendments to the RTI act made by the BJP government, which will ensure that no Information Commissioner shall be free from interference and signaling by the Modi government:

The intentions of the current ruling party, the BJP, on the RTI issue is as clear as the noonday sun:

Stamping RTI activism as “childish jibes” is understandable when India is run by a party that bases itself on pseudological narrative-constructs, ushering India into a realm of post-truths, inverted truths, lies propaganized so much that they become “truths” in the public sphere:

Without being demoralized due to the same, the OBMA member-activists have filed quite a few RTI applications in the past few years, in order to restate the democratic practice. Most of these RTIs are related to one of OBMA’s chief concerns, i.e., the DHFL scam.
The list of RTIs filed by OBMA along with their respective URLs and other relevant information is provided as follows:
