The Indian government has faced criticism from the Congress party over its claims regarding income equality in India. The government asserted, citing a recent World Bank report, that income inequality in India has significantly decreased over the past 11 years, with approximately 171 million people lifted out of poverty during this period. However, the Congress party has labeled this assertion as "fraudulent" and "intellectually dishonest," accusing the Modi administration of manipulating data to present India as one of the world's most equal countries. Congress has challenged the government's narrative, emphasizing the persistence of deepening inequalities in the country and rejecting the government's use of the Press Information Bureau to propagate what it terms misleading information.
