Once a great politician cum minister said ,
"Don’t go by all these calculations you see on TV, that if the country has to become a $5 trillion economy, it will have to grow at 12% but right now it is currently growing at 6-7%,Don’t get into those maths; those maths never helped Einstein discover gravity"
Chief secretary , Rajib Sinha (WB) once said in PC , " we are not giving out certain information that doesn't mean that
We are holding back or hiding the information . Everyone doesn't need to know everything we are giving out information which people need to know "
See both central Govt as well as state Govt not belive in giving out proper 'stats' and we have to belive what they are giving be it for economy or for Health issues .
Here is a great matching proverb in Bengali ...
বিশ্বাসে মিলায় বস্তু তর্কে বহুদূর
