Sajjala alleges ‘artificial’ fuel scarcity in Andhra Pradesh

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) State coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy on Tuesday alleged that the coalition government in Andhra Pradesh had failed to manage the fuel supply situation, resulting in what he described as an “artificial scarcity” affecting all sections of society.

Addressing the media, he said that while there was no shortage of petrol and diesel in neighbouring States or elsewhere in the country, several fuel stations across Andhra Pradesh were displaying “No Stock” boards, indicating a serious disruption in supply within the State. The shortage over the past four days had significantly affected public life, with both petrol and diesel becoming difficult to access. Transportation of goods and movement of people were disrupted, causing widespread inconvenience, he said.
