Tirupati: Local leader Bhumana Abhinay Reddy has strongly criticized the state government for failing to address farmers’ problems. Speaking to the media on Friday, he said that many promises made earlier by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu are still unfulfilled. Farmers, especially small-scale ones, continue to suffer without proper support.
Reddy stressed that a severe shortage of fertilizers, especially urea, has pushed farmers into crisis. Many are forced to wait in long queues, while others buy fertilizers at higher prices from the black market. He warned that this situation is worsening farmers’ financial burden.
Praising former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan for his welfare measures, Reddy urged the present government to act immediately. He demanded that urea and other fertilizers be made available at fair and subsidized rates. According to him, timely intervention is the only way to reduce farmers’ distress and prevent further hardships.
