@devsdey @ShamikaRavi @MamataOfficial @AITCofficial @abhishekaitc @MahuaMoitra @FinMinIndia 1. Growth rates can be charted in log-scale, unless any data point is negative-which isn't in the original chart. 2. Even if you remove the log-scale the overall narrative remains the same for WB - last ranked state among urban exp and among the slowest in rural! (1/2)

See the tweet @ShamikaRavi, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the PM. Full of statistical fallacies and deliberate rhetorical inflation. Please see my points in the tweet chain. #EconTwitter @MamataOfficial @AITCofficial @abhishekaitc @MahuaMoitra @FinMinIndia

@devsdey @ShamikaRavi @MamataOfficial @AITCofficial @abhishekaitc @MahuaMoitra @FinMinIndia (2/2) 3. Even if you control for income levels (richer states grows slowly than poorer), the story doesn’t change! 4. ALL states richer than WB in 2011-12 saw urban exp grow higher than WB (MH, HR, KA, KL) and even higher than national avg (TN, GJ, TS,DL)

India is doubling down on Russian crude oil. Supplies meant for China are making U-turns mid-voyage and hurrying to India. At least seven tankers carrying Russian oil have switched their destinations from China to India. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@iMac_too This is true!WB electorate is ~65-67% hindu,30% muslims.In 2021,BJP managed only ~50% of the Hindu vote while TMC bagged a staggering ~75% of the M vote!So BJP needs to somehow bag 75% of the H vote - which is pretty impossible.This time TMC will comfortably do 220+
