What does this even mean?
> The activist does it all the time.
Do you have a source for that activist's history of RTI requests?
> Also, Modi never claimed he was registered to sell tea.
So, he claims to be an unregistered tea-seller? Because that would make him a tax evader.

> Had the Congress government been so proactive in 55 years by mandating registration of tea sellers, India would be much safer, more cleaner, and less corrupt.
The Congress is incompetent, no doubt. But does that absolve Modi of tax-evasion now?
> Fun fact : That activist is from Congress party.
Sure. What difference does that make to the outcome of the RTI request?
> Another fun fact : Such activists do not disclose the exact wordings of the RTI query, they intentionally post ambiguous queries and use the reply to create sensational headline. I can challenge any of the Modi haters to share their exact RTI queries before they make sensational headline.
The article says "A Congress supporter and social activist Tehseen Poonawalla, had sought information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act from the railway board about whether there was any record, registration number or official pass issued to Modi allowing or entitling him to sell tea on trains and at stations." I don't really see how the wording here could be ambiguous, but I'd be happy to read an explanation.
I know there are plenty of political shills on online forums, but I think it's our collective responsibility to hold political leaders to high standards of virtue, like truth, something Narendra Modi has been fairly inconsistent with.
