Media Painting Wrong Picture of Bihar

In recent discussions with a friend who being a die hard Laloo and RJD supporter came up with a claim that crime have gone down in Bihar since the government came into power. I doubted his claim, for this he pulled out some articles which were a mockery of data analysis.

The author of this article is comparing 6 months of data to 2 months of data. Which is wrong. Moreover, the swearing in ceremony was on 20th November, so I am not sure how can this month be included in the average.

Both the analysis has data from Police Department. I seriously wonder whats the state of reporting or how much advertisement fees of DailyO comes from RJD?
