Lashing out against Mayawati for providing undue benefits to fertilizer units, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has blamed her for depriving the farmers of fertilizer subsidy. Congress (I)-led UPA government at the Centre had declared subsidy on fertilizers with an object to enable farmers to purchase agricultural in-puts at concessional rates Rahul Gandhi said while campaigning for the ongoing Assembly elections. But she took no interest to help the poor farmers who are dependent on good seeds and fertilizers for good harvest. Fertilizer units of the state in the conspiracy with state officials showed production of fertilizers beyond their capacity and collected undue subsidy from the Central government. However, the farmers instead of getting the benefit of subsidy had to buy the fertilizer by paying even up to Rs 100 more for each bag. Highlighting that she has been following anti-farmer policies Rahul Gandhi said farmers are eager to show her the door this time. He appealed the people to vote for Congress (I) and assured that a government of the poor by Congress (I) will work for welfare of the farmers.
