Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday claimed that there is a “crisis of fertilizers” in the country and wondered how the BJP government has not been able to estimate in 10 years how much fertilizer is needed in the country.

The Congress general secretary said that be it the price of crops or the availability of fertilizers and seeds, the BJP, which makes big claims, has itself become a crisis for the farmers.

“This is the peak season for sowing of Rabi crops and as usual, there is a crisis of fertilizers in the entire country. Long queues are being seen for fertilizers in many states including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
