Indian Express: New Delhi: Friday,
February 10, 2017.
Deputy Chief
Minister Manish Sisodia will file an application under the RTI Act Friday
seeking details of the procedure followed by the Centre while issuing
advertisements about its schemes on social media.
On January
28, a week after the CBI registered a preliminary inquiry against Sisodia, on a
complaint alleging that a consultant of a public relations company was hired by
the Delhi government to promote the ‘Talk to AK’ campaign, he had written a
letter to the Prime Minister’s Office seeking information about the
advertisements related to the Centre’s Make in India campaign, the Narendra
Modi App, Start up India and Digital India.
“The Deputy
Chief Minister had sent a letter to the PM’s principal secretary. Since he
received no reply, he will now seek the same information under RTI. He will
submit his RTI application at Rail Bhavan on Friday noon,” a government
official said.
