They virtually ruled Chhattisgarh but today no one is seen from the family. Three political families of Shukla, Jogi and Vora have almost disappeared from the present political scene in the state.

Congress of freedom fighters stood for sacrifice
Neither noble nor majestic sounding noble and majestic but being neither defines the present day Congress Party. Congress of freedom fighters stood for sacrifice. Contrary to this, the present day Congress is a party of looters. The worst part of it is that it welcomes other looters, who were afraid of getting caught and punished for their crimes. It prides in such alliances, bilateral or multilateral. It openly encourages them to indulge in daylight robberies of national assets and justifies it too. It openly threatens law enforcement agencies of putting them in jail if elected to rule India once again in the 2024 elections to the Lok Sabha. It gets support, encouragement and ammunition to destroy India promising to overturn all the good work done in the last 10 years by non-stop assiduous work of a team of sons and daughters of Bharat, who owe allegiance to none other than Bharat. The children of Bharat belong to Bharat only and not some foreign country or ruler. The low standards of language of these looters and their alliance suffer from the limitations of a single language proficiency in English. They are ignorant of Sanskrit and its rich intellectual literature. The limitation of these looters, who prefer to call themselves only Indian, that too proudly giving an impression they are somehow superior to the rest of Bharat, act funny by presenting themselves as nobles or royals without being either is self-evident. They are to be pitied for their option to remain cut off from the Great Bharat.

Guidelines regarding the authenticity of Swamy's Medical Attendance Rule / Swamy's Handbook
The applicant referred to reply of earlier RTI application where it was mentioned that CGHS Rules are being followed for settlement of medical claims including dental medical reimbursement as applicable in Delhi NCR. The applicant submitted that since there is no clear circular or guidelines of FCI Headquarters, New Delhi for reimbursement of dental medical treatment. Therefore, Swamy's Medical Attendance Rule mentioned in the letter issued by FCI Headquarters is followed in most of the Offices in FCI while dealing with medical reimbursement of employees of FCI. The applicant contended that there is a huge confusion in most of the FCI Offices as to which Circular / Guidelines / Letter issued by FCI, Headquarters, New Delhi has to be adhered while dealing with reimbursement of medical claims. He requested to provide the clear information / FCI Headquarters Circular or Guidelines regarding any kind of medical reimbursement (which includes dental medical treatment also). The respondent replied that as per RTI Act, PIO is required to provide information as available with him in the form of O.M., notifications, rules, regulations, orders, letters and circulars etc. Queries / clarifications or interpretation of information is outside the preview of the RTI Act. The CIC held that an appropriate response as per the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005 has been provided by the Respondent
Comments
Legally, only such information that is held and available with a public authority can be provided to the information seekers and giving reasons/ opinions/ interpretations, etc are beyond the scope of duty of the PIO. However, it is an Obligation of public authorities under section 4(1) (d) to provide reasons for its administrative or quasi-judicial decisions to affected persons.
