BJP scored a “DOUBLE F” As Oil Production Slumped For The 11th Consecutive Year And Scarcity Of Fertiliser Surges: Mallikarjun Kharge.

New Delhi; April 2026: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge today (23rd April 2026) has claimed that the Indian government has “failed” to ensure fuel and fertiliser security for the nation and tried to deflect it through “delimitation theatrics”.

Sharing media reports, Kharge said that India’s fuel production has gone down and its import diversification has failed, while 14 Indian-flagged vessels remain stranded at the Strait of Hormuz.

“PM Modi Govt tried to deflect its failures, and serious Epstein file allegations, through delimitation theatrics, but India saw through the charade. The BJP has scored a DOUBLE ‘F’ in ensuring Fuel & Fertiliser security for the nation”, Kharge said in a post on X.

“Production down, Import diversification fails, our ships in the Strait of Hormuz are unable to secure safe passage. 14 Indian flagged vessels remain stranded there for 54 days. India’s crude oil production has been falling for the 11th consecutive year in 2025-26, all thanks to the Modi Govt. Overall crude

production has collapsed by nearly 22% since 2014-15″, he added.

Earlier, Kharge sparked a controversy on the last day of Tamil Nadu election campaigning, when the Congress President criticised the AIADMK for supporting the BJP and labelled PM Modi a “terrorist who does not believe in equality”.

When questioned on the choice of words, Kharge quickly defended himself, claiming that he meant to say that the PM was terrorising his political opponents. “He (PM Modi) is terrorising people and political parties. I never said he is a terrorist…What I mean, I want to clarify, is that Modi always threatens. The institutions like ED, I-T and CBI are in his hands. He wants to take delimitation also into his hands”, Kharge said.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) yesterday have issued a stern 24-hour ultimatum to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, demanding an explanation for his controversial remark directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the high-decibel Tamil Nadu Assembly election campaign.
