In an oblique reference to allegations levelled by Congress leaders Sharan Prakash Patil and Priyank Kharge, Union Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers Bhagawanth Khuba has said that the district has enough stock of fertilizer and sowing seeds required for the kharif season.
“There is enough stock of fertilizer and seeds in the district. Farmers need not worry. The Union Government has, in April itself, made arrangements to supply fertilizer to every State as per requirement. It got indents from the States before April 15 and subsequently, supplied fertilizer to all States,” Mr. Khuba said.
He was addressing a public meeting after inaugurating a soil testing lab of Mumbai-based Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited at Aland in Kalaburagi district on Sunday.
