Mayawati's fresh letter to PM over fertilisers
Press Trust of India
Lucknow: Terming the supply of fertilisers from the Centre as
'insufficient', Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Tuesday shot
off a fresh letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asking him to
bridge the gap between demand and supply.
"The Chief Minister has requested the Prime Minster to ensure timely
supply of fertilisers so that agriculture production was not affected
and the income of farmers could also increase," an official release
here said.
Mayawati accused the Centre of not cooperating with the state on the
issue of fertiliser supply and said that because of this her
government could not ensure its supply to farmers.
She said that since the sowing season of Rabi crops was on, the demand
of fertilisers had increased.
The chief minister recalled that in her previous letter on September
27, she had requested the Prime Minister to provide additional quota
of fertiliser to the state.
"The supply of fertiliser from the Centre is not sufficient. State
agriculture minister Chowdhury Lakshmi Narain has personally met the
Union Chemical and Fertiliser Minister and informed him about the
situation but nothing was done in this regard," Mayawati said.
The chief minister has written about half a dozen letters to the Prime
Minister in the last fortnight, over various
issues, mostly pertaining to the weaker sections, apparently with an
eye on the upcoming polls.
