Entire political science of data doctoring: Congress slams govt on rural wage figures
The Congress party has accused the Modi government of artificially inflating rural wage growth figures. According to Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, a methodological change in data collection, including new regions with higher wages, has created a fabricated "rural wages boom." He claims this masks the reality of stagnant real wages, which he argues is the core issue behind India's economic slowdown.
