Congress accuses PM Modi of manipulating inflation data to hide rising costs affecting millions.

The Congress party in India has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of focusing on data manipulation and propaganda instead of addressing inflation. General secretary Jairam Ramesh claims the government is attempting to manipulate Consumer Price Index and Wholesale Price Index figures to mask rising costs, particularly in food, fuel, and daily essentials, which have impacted the working and middle classes. The party also alleges the government plans to alter the weightage of food items in the CPI to hide the true impact of inflation, affecting around 3-4 crore people.
