An unnamed top official says the government is transparent about the data sources used to arrive at a reported 7.8% GDP figure and invites public cross-checking. The official states that the data sources are available for anyone who has doubts about the underlying numbers.
The remarks are presented by NDTV as an exclusive interview, but the provided material does not name the official or specify the exact dataset or agency used to calculate the 7.8% growth rate. In this coverage, the key emphasis is on transparency and auditability of the inputs rather than on disputing the headline figure itself.
With only one outlet reflected in the provided sources, there is no described disagreement among different media accounts about the same story’s facts. The coverage focuses on the government’s methodological explanation and the availability of supporting information, rather than on alternative estimates or competing interpretations of GDP growth data.
