Why we say that›
UPA-era problems and Modi-era gains are documented but reset and fundamentals claims lack evidence.
Supported data points show higher inflation and NPAs under UPA and later improvements. The reel asserts without evidence that India needed a reset and that fundamentals changed under Modi.
No data on intervening years between FY13-14 and FY25-26
