Ethanol will hurt the BJP electorally, not because of car owners, the are just 8% of the population, but because of bike owners, who make up 60%.
Every issue with a bike, irrespective of whether it's due to ethanol or not, is being blamed on ethanol. Remember that the overwhelming majority of car and bike mechanics are not your voters and, in fact, they hate you and you know why. They are actively telling anyone with any bike issue that it is due to ethanol. Not only does it serve a political purpose, but it is also easy and convincing.
Car and bike dealers are equally happy to lean into this excuse because it completely deflects blame away from the manufacturers and their own service centers. If a part fails prematurely or a vehicle suffers from a chronic engineering defect, blaming ethanol allows dealers to shift the responsibility onto government policy rather than admitting to poor build quality or honoring warranty claims. It gives them a convenient, politically charged scapegoat that customers readily accept, shielding the automotive brands from reputational damage.
It's up to the BJP to smell the coffee. The issue is no longer on Twitter and no longer raised just by English-speaking metro car owners. It has gone to the ground. There is still time to wake up and make corrections.
P.S. I'm not defending ethanol here. It does damage engines and parts. I've been strongly opposing it and will keep doing so. I'm only saying what's happening on the ground. The BJP should do a course correction on ethanol solely because its implementation was wrong and correcting it is only logical. However, since politicians see every controversy from the standpoint of electoral gains and losses, I'm telling them that it will hurt them electorally too.
The Right Wing and Left Wing are united against E20, demanding E10 for older cars.
If only we could show the same unity for affordable quality education, accountability against corruption, and better road safety.
Hi! We are burning more fuel obv esp with non e20 compliant cars
From the first day itself I am saying two things
- E20 is done to push EV sales
- To kill used car market
- To make your car have fat bills after standard warranty is over to push all kind of sales
- To import ethanol from the US
- Controlled & limited supply of XP100 to be legally covered
Everything else is noise
Some pumps don’t have ethanol ready tanks, poor overall maintenance and adulteration too so such things are giving cars / bikes an instant death too.
Wish to see some sane media panelists discuss everything point to point.
My dearest SM fam, please give me 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟒 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 #𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐦 ! I have answered every question wrt to this ill-conceived Ethanol blending policy or as we call it Nitin Gadkari ji's 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐀𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐉𝐍𝐀!!

I've worked my ass off to buy the car that I currently own which I bought 5 years ago (May 2021). Everytime I was between jobs with no income, ensuring the car EMI got deducted on time was the top most priority on my mind. The emotional connect that me or anyone has with their car is something you can't quantify. A small dent or scratch on it, I used to feel bad for an entire day. And today, I'm being FORCED to DESTROY my own car with my own hands due to this mindless #Ethanol blending policy of this man called #NitinGadkari. With 'Zero Ethanol' petrol hardly available in any fuel station and costing almost 170 Rs per litre wherever rarely available, I'm forced to fill my car up with this E20 Petrol and my car is literally choking and dying a slow death. I could see a major drop in mileage and AC performance ever since this Ethanol nonsense was introduced. I kept quiet for so many months hoping this nonsense would be rolled back after the whole backlash but now with E30, E85 and even E100 being introduced, I'm speechless. Even if you buy a brand new E20 compatible car today, it's already incompatible with the E30 and above fuel blends that are being forced down our throats.
I'm not an active supporter of any political party but have always been a staunch opposer and critic of the Congress. But dear @narendramodi ji, if Mr. @nitin_gadkari is not shown the door and this Ethanol nonsense is not rolled back, I already know who I'm voting for next and it's NOT the BJP.
Thank you for the attention to this matter.
