Hello,
Does anybody know where I can find more resources that give copious,
reliable and accurate information about the development being taken in
all states. Something like the Outlook magazine's reports recently on
the development taken by each politician in their own constituency ?

Outlook, or rather the Satark Nagarik Sanghatana (SNS), has provided
information about way in which each MP has spent the discretionary funds

In a recent interview I heard Arvind Kejriwal opine that the RTI has
too many backlog cases and the Information Commission which is
supposed to fine the officers does no
However, gerrymandering as a prerogative of the govt of the day, as it is
