Piyush Goyal born on June 13, 1964 in Mumbai, is an Indian politician. He is currently a member of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the past, he has been in the departments such as, Minister of State for Power, Coal and Renewable Energy in May 2014, Minister of Railways in September 2017 and in July 2021 he became the Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha.
In January 2021, BOOM found misleading information being circulated widely, involving Piyush Goyal and Ravish Kumar.
In one of his prime time shows, Ravish relies on a poster tweeted by Goyal, the poster shows the government's procurement of paddy, which has risen from 423 LMT (lakh metric tons) in kharif marketing season 2019 - 2020 to 534 LMT in kharif marketing season 2020 - 2021 (up to January 10, 2021 and still ongoing); posting an increase of 26%. Later, Ravish and the channel have issued apologies after Kumar incorrectly conflated the procurement volumes of rice and paddy in his show.
Kumar made this error on his show, 'Prime Time', that aired on January 14, in which he was addressing the broader issue of the ongoing farmer agitation.
