KTR faults govt. for not providing timely supply of inputs to ryots
HYDERABAD Working president of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao alleged that the Congress government in the State is unable to provide key inputs in time to the farmers' community even if they plan to take up Kharif cultivation by borrowing money for investment expenses, after many of them being denied Rythu Bharosa and farm loan waiver. In a statement, Mr. Rama Rao said on Sunday that the government was not in a position to give even a bag of urea to each farmer in need, despite giving their Aadhaar card copies as being sought by the fertilizer sellers. It was the responsibility of the government to explain to the farming community why there was a shortage of 1.94 lakh tonnes of urea so far this season. He sought to know why the farmers were being forced to shell out ₹325 per bag of urea against its actual price of ₹266.5 and who was behind the black marketing of the fertilizer to encash the scarcity. He demanded that an inquiry be made into the artificial scarcity of fertilizers and those making money by inflating the price. Another former Minister K. Eshwar separately said middlemen were fleecing farmers on urea by collecting higher price than the one fixed by the government. He requested the government to ensure timely and required quantity supply of the fertilizer essential for cultivation of all crops.
