Answer 2

Right to information act in 2005

the government of India enacted the freedom of information act in 2002.

Initially it was not very successful. Later the UPA government enacted the right to information act in 2005, which addressed the previous loopholes. continuous demands by the educated and aware citizens of India forced the government to enact the right to information act (RTI) in 2005.

It gives the citizen the right to seek information from the government. Through this right, citizens can also ask questions from the government.

Hope it helps
