Bhongir Chamala MP Kiran Reddy said that Telangana secured more urea during the kharif season compared to last year, adding that BRS’s criticism on the issue was aimed at political survival.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Reddy said that Telangana has received 9.66 lakh metric tonnes of urea for the 2024-25 kharif season and 10.41 lakh metric tonnes for the rabi (yasangi) season. 9.79 lakh metric tonnes has already been secured for the 2025-26 kharif season, he said.
“Where has the government failed,” he asked BRS working president KT Ram Rao, accusing him of spreading false propaganda against the Congress government since the first day of the new year.
He alleged that the KTR had resorted to “Goebbels-style propaganda” by deliberately misleading people on the issue of supplying urea to farmers. He said that both Mr. Rao and Harish Rao are constantly targeting the Congress government with baseless allegations just to be in the public mind.
The MP has accused Mr. Harish Rao of spreading misinformation about Krishna and Godavari river waters and the Palamuru–Rangareddy project, while Mr. KT Rama Rao is indulging in false campaigns regarding the availability of urea. “Instead of spreading falsehoods, both should talk about public affairs based on facts,” he argued.
Mr. Reddy said the Congress government had ensured uninterrupted supply of urea by staging protests and holding direct talks with Union Fertilizer Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda. He claimed that the supply of urea to Telangana is now much higher than during the 10-year BRS rule.
