Revanth Reddy Urges Adequate Urea Supply By Centre

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy today urged the Union government to immediately supply urea to Telangana farmers in accordance with the sanctioned amounts.

Taking to X, the Chief Minister said that although 8.30 lakh metric tonnes of urea had been allocated for the current Kharif season, only 5.32 lakh metric tonnes had been supplied so far - a shortfall of nearly 3 lakh metric tonnes - causing severe hardships for farmers.

Reddy said that the MPs from Telangana had already raised the issue with Union ministers, explaining the problems caused by inadequate supply despite the allocation. He said that the MPs had submitted a representation to Union Fertilizers and Chemicals Minister J P Nadda, that he himself had personally taken up the matter with the Union minister, and that the State Agriculture Minister Thummala Nageswara Rao had also written several times to the Centre, but to no avail.

Accusing the Union government of discriminating against Telangana, Reddy criticised its "continued negligence", and said that despite repeated appeals, Parliamentary interventions and protests by MPs, the supply still fell short of the sanctioned quota.
