Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Monday launched a sharp attack on both the state and central governments over the ongoing urea shortage, accusing them of neglecting Telangana’s farmers.
Speaking at Telangana Bhavan, KTR said that despite repeated warnings, authorities had failed to address the crisis. “For the last 20 days, BRS has been warning both state and central governments about the shortage of urea. Yet they have failed to respond,” he said.
As a mark of protest, the BRS leader announced that the party would not participate in the Vice President election. “In solidarity with 71 lakh Telangana farmers, BRS has decided not to take part. If NOTA was an option, we would have chosen it,” he remarked.
KTR also demanded an apology from political rivals for what he described as “false propaganda” against the Kaleshwaram project, while pointing out that its waters were now being used for new government schemes.
