KTR contrasts KCR’s foresight in ensuring timely urea supply against Congress’s incompetence

BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao blamed the Congress government for the fertiliser crisis, accusing it of incompetence. He contrasted the situation with KCR’s tenure, recalling measures like special trains and lorries to ensure timely supply, and warned of Congress’ downfall.

Hyderabad: Holding the Congress government responsible for current fertiliser crisis, BRS working president KT Rama Rao contrasted it’s incompetence with former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s meticulous planning to ensure uninterrupted supply during the BRS regime. He accused the ruling Congress of failing to anticipate farmers’ needs, thereby forcing them into difficulties and tears.

Recalling past measures, Rama Rao said under Chandrashekhar Rao‘s leadership, the State had devised elaborate strategies to avert fertiliser shortages. He said Chandrashekhar Rao held advance reviews with agricultural officials, sought allocations from the Centre with detailed calculated requisitions, and even deputed Telangana officers at Andhra Pradesh ports to monitor shipments.

He remembered the former Chief Minister personally speaking to South Central Railway officials, securing 25 special goods trains and mobilising over 4,000 lorries to move stocks, and ensuring urea reached villages without delay. “This was the determination to make the farmer the king,” he said.

Taking a sharp dig at the Congress government, the BRS working president said farmers were facing distress due to incompetent people who know nothing about governance, except petty politics. He stated that people of Telangana have understood the difference between incompetent leaders of Delhi parties and K Chandrashekhar Rao’s long-term vision. He asserted that the downfall of those who were making farmers struggle, has already begun.
