Andhra Pradesh Faces Urea Scarcity Amid Conflicting Claims
Farmers in Andhra Pradesh might not have enough fertilizer.
The state government says there's plenty, but the opposition party disagrees.
The Chief Minister is urging farmers to use less fertilizer and promising help.
The opposition claims that the current supply is not enough, and that the little fertilizer available is being directed toward ruling party supporters.
The government also ordered to keep track of the usage of urea.
The opposition party is planning a protest to bring attention to the issue.
It is important for the farmers because if they can’t get the right fertilizer they will have trouble producing healthy crops.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Naidu says there is enough fertilizer for the upcoming kharif season.
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) plans a statewide protest on September 6 regarding urea shortages.
Naidu's government is reportedly unhappy with the central government's response to the shortage.
State received 2.02 lakh metric tonnes of urea, 91,000 metric tonnes more than last year.
YSRCP alleges fertilizer is being diverted to ruling party supporters.
