I can still bet, HIV number must be triple then reported by government.

You know communists are in charge in a government when all they do is just fiddle with numbers instead of doing something for the patients. Brings to mind how after Russia had gone communist (from late 1910s and after), the thereafter communist-run hospitals had <i>statistics</i> departments to keep deflating the numbers of actual cholera patients. It was considered their most important department too - imagine that, in a <i>hospital</i>. (Communist logic!) Meanwhile Russians died of the cholera in large numbers. The more it happened, the more the communists kept downing the numbers.
It's the communist way: propaganda, propaganda and more propaganda. '(Lie) To keep people from panicking' (actually, it's to keep people from doing anything and for keeping them from getting angry at communist incompetence/callousness).
Now if the Indian health dept were to have said that hundreds more centres to help AIDS patients had been built, you know the government was doing something constructive (if true). But no, all they're doing is just playing the numbers game with the help of the media - once more showing the ineptitude of congressidom. 'It's all under control. It isn't that bad really. The floodgate is open and people are drowning, it's true, but it's only a few millions - half the number you heard it was.'
