YSRCP blames Andhra govt for fertilizer shortage
Last Updated: Amaravati, Aug 4 (PTI) The YSRCP on Monday accused the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu-led coalition government of ignoring farmers' needs and allegedly failing to ensure fertilizer supply during kharif season. Despite the beginning of kharif season, farmers are struggling as the government has failed to provide essential fertilizers, it said. 'The government has once again proved its inefficiency. RBKs are dysfunctional and farmers are anxious. Chandrababu calls agriculture a waste," the party said. 'The TDP-led NDA government has shown its inefficiency once again by not making the fertilizers available though the Kharif season has set in," said YSRCP in a release. The opposition party alleged that the current government deliberately destroyed the Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs), launched by the former CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, thus placing 'farmers in great distress across the state". The promised supply of urea and other fertilizers was not provided, said YSRCP, alleging that this betrayal enabled black-marketing to flourish at farmers' expense. The YSRCP will continue to champion farmers' rights, as agriculture remains a key priority for the party under Reddy's leadership, it said. It further alleged that the NDA coalition government is not treating farming as a vital sector and declared that the party will expose the failures and fight for justice to cultivators.

TDP, YSRCP have failed A.P.: Ex-Union Minister
Former Union Minister and Congress Party senior leader Killi Kruparani alleged that both the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) MPs have failed to exert pressure on the Union government in regards to implementing Special Category Status (SCS) and other statutory assurances outlined in the AP Reorganization Act-2014 which was enacted by the then UPA government to protect the interests of residual Andhra Pradesh. Addressing the media on Monday, Ms Kruparani said, 'All the 25 Lok Sabha members and 11 Rajya Sabha members from Andhra Pradesh have 'completely surrendered' to the Modi-led government. This is evident with with their silence in Parliament over key issues such as SCS, ₹70,000 crore package, financial assistance for Amaravati construction and other projects.' She charged the TDP led NDA government of failing to meet the expectations of people and instead prioritising and focussing only on political vendetta to settle scores with the YSRCP. Ms. Kruparanni sarcastically asked the government to construct more jails since many leaders, officials were expected to be jailed in future. The Congress Party senior leader Gadem Venkata Trinnadha Rao, Killi Ramamohana Rao, Rella Suresh and others were present.

By-election campaign for Pulivendula ZPTC seat heats up
The ruling NDA Alliance is up against the YSRCP to win by-election for the Pulivendula ZPTC seat which fell vacant falling the demise of sitting member Maheswar Reddy (YSRCP) two years ago. Pulivendula, the constituency represented by former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, is considered the heartland of YSRCP. The TDP-led alliance has allotted the seat to Mareddy Latha Reddy, spouse of Pulivendula constituency in-charge Mareddy Ravindranath Reddy ( Ravi); who is leaving no stone unturned to ensure her victory. TDP politburo member and Kadapa district President Reddeppagari Srinivasa Reddy along with Jammalamadugu BJP MLA and Government whip C. Adinarayana Reddy campaigned for Ms. Reddy in Pulivendula on Monday (August 4, 2025). Meanwhile, the YSRCP is banking on the YSR family's charisma, as former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy never lost an election he had contested. Banking on sympathy, the party has announced the candidature of deceased ZPTC member's wife and son. Member of Parliament (Kadapa) Y.S. Avinash Reddy has even appealed to the political parties to let the deceased ZPTC member's dependants win the election on 'humanitarian grounds' as a 'humble tribute'. However, the political parties paid no heed to Mr. Avinash Reddy's request. The Congress party has also announced a candidate and expressed confidence of winning the coveted seat.
