Solapur, August 22: Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar today refuted the allegations of short supply of fertilisers in the country.
Pawar, who was here to inaugurate some development projects, said his ministry has increased the quantity of fertilisers as compared to last year.
The Centre has sent sufficient stock of fertilisers to Maharashtra, but black-marketeering had led to its shortage in the state, he said.
“Delhi has done its duty perfectly. Now it is the duty of the states to bring the things in order,” he said.
