This is the cause for which all shall have to work on the lines indicated and orchestrated by Anna hazare. Our experience shows that state always suffers because of inactiveness of the Govt to extend benefits. The case of application of RTI act is an example. We have got the Chief Commissioner after six years and even the commissioners have not been positioned people could not take benefit of the act .
