Ponnam Slams Centre Govt for Failing to Supply Urea to Telangana

Backward Classes Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar here on Monday accused the Central government of being biased towards Telangana in supplying sufficient urea to the State. 

We met the Union Ministers representing the State to supply fertilizers. We have appealed through letters several times, but the BJP government is showing discrimination against Telangana farmers in supplying fertilizers.

“We appeal to farmers that fertilizer manufacturing and its supply is



completely under the control of the Central government. Fertilizers are 100 percent under the purview of the Central government. 

We have been appealing many times on behalf of the State government to bail out farmers by supplying fertilizers,” he said.

Addressing a press conference here, the Minister said that those who should be responsible for shortage of urea were least bothered about the situation. On the other hand, the BRS leaders were provoking farmers in rural areas.
