> Situation is even worse in BJP ruled states

I happen to live in Bangalore (BJP ruled). There's certainly no evidence of 10-40x underreporting of deaths happening here. I don't doubt at all that they're underreported though; but to a smaller extent.

Do you have any links?

Do give credit where it is due, Karnataka state government has been quite transparent in reporting Covid data, and there isn'a a deliberate misreporting or suppressing. There is a even a telegram channel run by the government where Covid updates are provided at regular intervals.

I haven't heard of data fudging in Bangalore from media, so far.

Here are some reports about Gujarat[1][2]
