    Hi,

    The questions asked are mostly related to a particular political party as the state-in-charge is not a government position. I do not see these questions in any relating to RTI as the information requested need not be with any government office.

    If you are not satisfied with the reply and have reasons to believe that your queries fall under RTI, please do not hesitate to reply.

    Regards,
    AKP-RTIA
