Bihar is back in the headlines—and so are all the numbers, charts, and claims flying around on your timeline. From crime stats to growth rates, everyone’s got their version of “the truth”.
Political parties have spared no effort in persuading the voters. The ruling NDA keeps highlighting development and reminding everyone of the ‘Jungle Raj’ years, while the Mahagathbandhan hits back, saying the government hasn’t solved Bihar’s real problems.
But when a large number of leaders are speaking, a large amount of data is being quoted, and a large amount of chest-thumping is happening, it becomes difficult for people like you and me to escape the maze we call ‘NUMBERS’. To tackle this problem, our fact-checking team at The Quint developed a data series to explain and break down the numbers.
