Entire political science of data doctoring: Congress slams govt on rural wage figures

The Congress party has criticized the government for allegedly manipulating rural wage data, claiming that actual wage growth is only 4.3% per annum, the slowest in four years. Jairam Ramesh, a senior Congress leader, emphasized that this discrepancy reflects broader economic issues impacting rural livelihoods. This situation underscores the importance of accurate data in policy-making, especially in the context of rural employment and economic stability.
