170. I accept that there may well be misconduct or insensitivity in a variety of ways in many NGOs.

151. The Terms of Reference presuppose oral hearings59 or failing that and with good reason affidavits or written statements. We have not even been offered affidavits i.e. statements made under oath. Neither the Panel nor those persons against whom allegations are made are in a position to evaluate any reasons which may be presented for deviation from the standard of oral hearings. And, in circumstances where there seem (from the response to the M&G articles) to be issues in dispute, oral evidence is seen as the most helpful method of clarifying issues or assessing the veracity of evidence that is properly questioned in order that any Panel such as this may reach the truth and resolve a dispute.

Eliminating the need to burn stuff in a house – gas or otherwise – does eliminate the possibility of CO poisoning in that house. It would be pretty difficult to get CO in there otherwise.

72 Achmat pointed out that members of such Boards are geographically scattered and not always immediately available. In any event, the Disciplinary Code had previously been followed in other instances.

The BJP still had an advantage — despite its reduced dominance, disenchantment with the party remains mostly localised. There is as yet little evidence that the anti-incumbent sentiment against the Centre has converted into anger and dislike for Mr Modi personally. The task for both the BJP and the Opposition parties, especially the Congress, is cut out. It is certain that the verdict of 2014 is unlikely to be repeated. Unless the political narrative alters dramatically, a decline in the BJP’s tally is certain. Where the score settles finally will depend how various parties play the game.
