Secretary gave the cell number: 90131 80248. MP was an activist all his life and was falsely accused and various cases were registered against him. And he strongly believes the court order to keep criminals out of the RTI act. So not fully supportive of this. Regarding RTI act, he fully supports political parties under RTI and is a good friend of Jay Panda. Everyone in the public domain should be brought under RTI | Das,Shri Bhakta Charan | Indian National Congress |
100% gaurantee that all the financial documents/statements have been made public and have explaination for all the accounts.

MP was clueless at the beginning – but then she understood and said she will simply go with the party. And when i asked her this was discussed in the party – the answer was No | Devi,Smt. Ashwamedh | Janata Dal (United) |
Was supportive of parties to come under RTI – even offered to work with Jay Panda. Asked JP to call him | Dhanapalan,Shri K. P. | Indian National Congress |
Was impressed someone was calling from abroad. Was very supportive of parties coming under RTI and also said parliament sessions are such that there is never a useful dialogue. He offered to work with Jay Panda on this issue | Dhotre,Shri Sanjay Shamrao | Bharatiya Janata Party |
As soon as i mentioned the purpose of my call, MP said he was in a meeting, wanted me to call back after an hour | Dhruvanarayana,Shri Rangaswamy | Indian National Congress |
Looks like i spoke to this MP – she said Sureshji aap se baat ho chuki hai na – hum dekhlenge and she hung up | Dhurve,Smt. Jyoti | Bharatiya Janata Party |
election commission hasn’t raised the ceiling of the expenditure. So this has to be raised. EC has imposed so many restrictions that it becomes very difficult – which is why parties refused to bring parties to come under RTI. Even 60 lakhs is not sufficient, didn’t want to comment on the upper limit but wanted the government to comment on this. Also said Money power should be reduced. But definitely cannot Jay Panda’s effort – as he is bound by the party discpline | Dias,Dr. Charles | Indian National Congress |
Not available | Dikshit,Shri Sandeep | Indian National Congress |
Not answering the phone | Dome,Dr. Ram Chandra | Communist Party of India (Marxist) |
Party haat utane ko kahegi to utayange – agar girane ko kahegi to girayange – Party mein to koi charcha hui nahi abhi tak | Dubey,Shri Nishikant | Bharatiya Janata Party |
