Telangana CM Warns Centre Of Nationwide Protests Against Fertilizer Price Hike

Telangana CM KCR has strongly opposed the Central‘s decision to increase the price of fertilizers.

KCR wrote an open letter to PM Narendra Modi to register his protest against the increase in fertilizer prices.

The CM pointed out and blamed that the Modi government which made promises that it would increase the farmers’ income double fold by 2022, has now increased the prices of fertilizers at an all-time high to break the farming community’s back.

The CM added, "There is a deep conspiracy behind the Modi govt policies and actions to make the lives of farmers miserable. Decisions like to install meters to motors to collect the power charges, not linking NRGE with the farm sector, increasing the fertilizers prices to all time high, not purchasing the paddy cultivated by the farmers, all these draconian decisions of the BJP government at the Centre have made farmers life difficult to survive. One should oppose the actions that would make farmers becoming a laborer in his own land.”

KCR warned that if the increased prices of fertilizers are not withdrawn, there will be statewide and countrywide agitations against the Central government.
