The secretive state: Why RTI exists only in name in Kerala
The Kerala government's commitment to transparency is questioned due to its selective disclosure of information under the RTI Act. Key reports, including those on pensions, film industry working conditions, and an adoption case, remain hidden. This secrecy, coupled with evasive responses to assembly questions and opaque fund allocation, fuels public distrust and forces citizens to seek legal recourse.
