Khammam: Telangana Agriculture Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has accused the Centre of injustice in fertilizer allocation. He said the central government is causing hurdles in urea supply in Telangana, which is creating problems for farmers during the sowing season.
Ponguleti alleged that inflated figures were being shown to deny proper allotment. Even after repeated demands, the Centre allegedly delayed the process and released only partial stocks.
The minister expressed anger, saying that farmers should not be punished for political reasons. He assured that the state government will fight, if necessary, to guarantee continuous urea supply in Telangana.
“Even if we have to struggle with the Centre, farmers will get fertilizers on time,” he said.
He added that agriculture is the backbone of Telangana’s economy. Fertilizers play a vital role in crop protection and higher yields. Ponguleti promised firm action to prevent shortage and reiterated that the government stands strongly with farmers.
