Former BRS MLA and party Nalgonda unit president Ravindra Kumar stated that farmers were struggling to obtain urea. The Congress government claimed to have introduced the app to make things convenient for farmers. Instead, the ryots were facing several hardships due to poor server connectivity, glitches in the app, and the lack of smartphones among many farmers to register on it, he said.

Similar protests were staged in PA Pally and Gudipally mandals as well.
