You can pick and choose data if it helps your beliefs. EVERY state is doing this. Every state government is afraid to let he public know the real numbers. Same story in my state not ruled by "the one party".

Yeah cause they will direct the entire to attack states who are reporting real numbers, as failures and will work ferociously to overturn the govt. We are witnessing this live with the Maharastra govt. The amount of real deaths now is in thousands per day and yet "the party" does not give a shit about anything and is focused on winning elections. So please dont come at us with childish arguments. Also try saying this in a public place in those heavily affected states. Then you'll know if people are in sync with you or not

    The insinuation is that you will be attacked most likely punched in the face. Thats what I have seen

      I understood that. Just tried to phrase it nicely. The fact that someone is willing to punch you in the face doesn't make them more correct than if they were unwilling to do so.

Every state isn't doing this. Karnataka/Kerala are better in this regard than Gujarat/UP. These are among the states where I am directly aware of the information collection. It isn't just BJP vs non-BJP either, Karnataka is a BJP state. Some states have better infrastructure and better reporting, e.g. Kerala, which ironically makes things look worse because their numbers are more honest. Ironically, on a per capita basis, the best performing state is Bihar, followed by UP. For anyone familiar with India, you can draw your own conclusions. For anyone looking to run their own analysis, this [1] has a comprehensive data source with APIs to pull data. [1] https://www.covid19india.org https://www.covid19india.org
