“PM Modi is lying about Soil Testing Labs too. During UPA regime there were 1141 Soil testing laboratories: @priyankachopra,” the party tweeted.

The tweet came after Modi accused Congress of neglecting farmers during its rule and only using them as a vote bank.

Soil testing labs are set up to provide farmers with soil health cards, which in turn would help them decide the quality of their products they normally grow.
