<h1>State accuses central government of withholding urea allocations, causing shortages and political discrimination; central denies shortfall</h1> The state government alleges the central government failed to deliver promised urea allocations, causing shortages that inconvenience farmers and prompt sporadic agitations; it accuses the central ruling party of politically discriminating against the state and local rival-party leaders of attempting to defame the state administration. The state cites domestic production halts and reduced imports - notably from China - as factors, says shortages are harsher in southern states, and has asked officials to assess stocks and arrange distribution. Reports of long queues and markers such as footwear to reserve places prompted accusations that rival politicians are stoking panic. The central government denies shortfall, pledges committed supplies, and warns against hoarding and illegal storage.
