Hyderabad: BRS leader K T Rama Rao criticized State government for the shortage of fertilisers and urea in the State. He questioned the government’s inability to supply even basic fertilisers despite farmers linking their Aadhaar cards.
He demanded that the government explain the deficit of 1.94 lakh metric tons of fertilisers and the sudden price spike in urea bags from Rs 266.50 to Rs 325.
He asked government to conduct an immediate inquiry into this price hike and expose those responsible for the artificial scarcity.
He said even a month after the monsoon had commenced, there was no stock, fertiliser hoarders, farmers would face more difficulties.
