There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. India's Anti-national Ruling Party engages in all three.
Think of this the next time you see andhbhakts flaunting those pre- and post-2014 statistics.

Welcome to India, where the bar is below hell. Hell is an improvement - where the vast supermajority of Indians live today.
