Karnataka failed to distribute fertilisers: Prahlad Joshi

Image
Bengaluru : Union Consumer Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi has accused the Karnataka government of attempting to shift blame onto the Centre over the reported fertiliser shortage in the state, alleging that the crisis is the result of administrative failure by the Congress government rather than a lack of supply.

He claimed that the state government was creating a false narrative of shortage to cover up its inability to effectively distribute fertilisers to farmers.
