Hyderabad: The appointment of Information Commissioners in Andhra Pradesh was going on in PPP (public-private partnership) mode despite the public protest and the Governor’s opposition, former Chief Election Commissioner J.M. Lyngdoh remarked here on Sunday.

Speaking at the fourth national convention of the National Campaign for the People’s Right to Information (NCPRI) here, he said the Information Commission in AP was now packed with politicians against the spirit of the Right to Information Act.

“It may be businessmen tomorrow as the AP government strongly believes in pursuing PPP (public-private partnership)”, he lamented.

Alerting the RTI activists to be cautious against the impending threats to weaken the movement and the act itself, Mr. Lyngdoh said: “The act may have to be reoriented to handle the principle foe and repository of power.” Member of the National Advisory Council and social activist Aruna Roy said the RTI had empowered people in many ways, particularly on the margins and in conflict areas. She narrated some positive changes it had ushered-in in the country.
