Leader of Opposition in MP Assembly Gopal Bhargav on Friday slammed the Congress Government for the shortage of urea in the State. He alleged that farmers were beaten up by the police amid urea shortage.

The Congress and black marketing are two phases of a same coin and the same has started for urea in Congress raj yet again, Bhargav added in another tweet.
The state is seeing the return of Bantadhar yug (destruction era) as districts are reporting scuffles for urea and farmers are getting beaten up police amid urea shortage frequently, said Bhargav tagging a picture of farmers lining up for buying urea in Madhusudangarh as claimed by a Hindi daily.
To this, Chief Minister Kamal Nath promptly replied on tweeter. In one of the tweets, Nath affirmed that there was no urea crisis in MP and state government was busy improving supplies. We are constantly in touch the Centre urging it to enhance our urea quota, Nath added. He further added that distribution mechanism is ready for disbursement of the fertiliser to farmers in accordance with the demand.
