Does anybody know where I can find more resources that give copious, > reliable and accurate information about the development being taken in > all states.
Outlook, or rather the Satark Nagarik Sanghatana (SNS), has provided information about way in which each MP has spent the discretionary funds from what is known as the MPLAD fund. SNS got this information by filing right to information (RTI) applications. You can similarly find information about how municipal councilors in Mumbai have spent money from their discretionary funds on www.praja.org For similar information on MLAs, you have to file RTI applications with respective state government departments asking for they have spent money from their discretionary MLA-LAD funds. -- Zainab Bawa Ph.D. Student and Independent Researcher Between Places ... http://zainab.freecrow.org
