@ICICIBank @ICICIBank_Care Whoever is handling your iMobile and Pockets app need to be sacked ASAP. One of the worst apps of any banks I have used till date. I hope you get some classes from @SBICard_Connect @TheOfficialSBI on how apps should be developed.

@Tushar15 @SatisfiedSoul5 @volklub Indians don't get a proper living wage, and we can't buy vehicles when govt needs us to. If Govt wants E20 fueled vehicles on road, then subsidize vehicle purchase, remove road tax for next 5 years, give monetory assistance without interest.

[Gaurav @auralovesu]

@Tushar15 @volklub You are saying common people can make loss, but not Govt who is not using our tax money into useful things.

[Gaurav @auralovesu]

@Tushar15 Bro. Every responsible nation will give option to owners. Pre 2024 cars and bikes are not E20 compliant. So until they phase out everyone should be given a choice.

Instead of signing files for Ethanol blended petrol or flex fuel, Nitin Gadkari ji should sign files from his ministery to send corrupt contractors who do substandard highway work to jail!!

@Mahindra_Auto @anandmahindra plz inform us what you are going to do to make pre 2024 vehicles ethanol ready? Why are you beating around the bush with new vehicle E20 compliance.

[Gaurav @auralovesu]

@tehseenp @news24tvchannel As a BJP voter I am with @tehseenp .

[Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 @tehseenp]

Grateful 🙏 We have 4 demands

* Availability of E0 E5, E10 & E20 blended fuels !
* all documents wrt E20 including ARAI report in Public domain
* solution for pre 2023 vehicles damged
* no future rollout without 360°infrastructure being ready.

#EthanolScam

[Vishal Singh Jain @VishhalSJain]

To the Government of India:
@PMOIndia @PIB_India @pib_law @HMOIndia @mygovindia

VSJ Ventures LTD was built on a promise — fairness, transparency, and the discipline to see what others miss.

We studied India’s E20 ethanol programme deeply. Our considered conclusion is uncomfortable but clear:

E20 no longer looks like a farmer-first fuel programme. It looks like an architecture through which US corn and corn-derived products can enter India by whichever route remains open — whole corn, industrial ethanol, DDGS, derivatives, or technology routing.

Maize has been diverted from animal feed into ethanol. FCI rice has been made available for ethanol conversion. Broken-rice streams linked to the PDS are being positioned as ethanol feedstock. Sugar has also been diverted. Whatever the explanation — surplus, damaged grain, stock management or quality improvement — the policy fact remains: food security is being converted into fuel feedstock.

Then comes the DDGS contradiction.

India was exporting nearly 300,000 tonnes of maize DDGS in 2024. Yet your government opened the door to DDGS imports from the United States. DDGS is not a rare American input; it is the automatic by-product of maize-based ethanol production. Indian distilleries already produce it. India did not need the US for ordinary DDGS.

So why import it?

US DDGS comes from US corn ethanol, and US corn is overwhelmingly GMO. India has resisted GM corn directly. Is DDGS now the indirect route?

Then comes Petron Scientech — a US company with DuPont-linked ethanol technology, brought into a 50:50 JV pathway with GAIL. India did not need Petron for ordinary ethanol or DDGS. Indian companies already do both.

So what exactly was being introduced — animal feed, or a pathway?

Add the industrial ethanol route. Industrial ethanol and fuel ethanol are both ethanol. The distinction is not molecular; it is a correctable specification-and-compliance gap — grade, denaturant, water content, impurity limits, paperwork, classification and declared end use.

The routes are now visible: food grains into ethanol, US ethanol directly, US DDGS indirectly, and US technology inside the architecture.

No institutional fund says this lightly to a sovereign government: we want to be proved wrong. We understand the asymmetry and the risk. We assume it knowingly, because the research demands it and the country deserves clarity.

So here is our challenge - NOW PROVE US WRONG

Declare in Parliament:

1. No US corn-derived ethanol into India’s E20 programme under any label;
2. US DDGS, if permitted, capped, feed-use-only, end-use audited, and barred from ethanol reprocessing;
3. No US GM corn entry through grain, ethanol, DDGS, derivatives or technology routing;
4. And no permanent use of public food stocks as fuel feedstock.

Not a clarification. Not a technical denial. A binding public safeguard.

For India’s farmers, food sovereignty and seed independence, we sincerely hope you prove us wrong.

We will be the first to celebrate it.

[Bengaluru NavaNirmana Party (BNP) @NammaBNP]

Freshly laid. Already peeling.

Within a week, the asphalt on Bannerghatta Road has begun coming apart.

BNP had warned about the poor quality of the work from the very beginning. This is exactly why quality checks and accountability matter.

Who approved this work? Who will be held accountable for wasting public money?

BNP has been consistently tracking this project and demanding better quality for Bengaluru.

[Tejasvi Surya @Tejasvi_Surya]

If every taxpayer can be tracked for every rupee he owes the government, why can’t the government show taxpayers where every rupee spent on roads has gone?

The Government has admitted at various points that nearly ₹5,500 crore has been spent on Bengaluru’s roads. Citizens have a right to know where this money has gone and what outcomes it has delivered.

My demand is simple.

Within the next 30 days, the Government must launch a publicly accessible live dashboard for all road infrastructure works in Bengaluru. Every citizen should be able to see:

• Which road is being worked on
• The cost of the project
• The contractor executing it
• The officer responsible
• The timeline for completion
• The maintenance period
• The defect liability period
• The real-time status of the work

This is not a difficult reform. Bengaluru is India’s technology capital. Hundreds of technology professionals would gladly volunteer their expertise to help build such a platform.

Transparency creates accountability. Accountability improves quality. Quality builds public trust.

₹5,500 crore later, Bengaluru deserves answers.

Build the dashboard. Put every road work online. Let citizens see where their money is going.

@krishnabgowda can be used to keep the place tidy. These issues need to be tackled out of politics keeping general health and cleanliness in mind.

[Gaurav @auralovesu]

@krishnabgowda Bring in heavy fines for unauthorised food carts and all vendors who are illegally encroaching the footpath. Ask Police to stop taking daily sum of Rs.20 from these guys. Build some good places for these guys to relocate and keep them tidy. Whatever amount given to police 1/n

[Yaduveer Wadiyar @yaduveerwadiyar]

The Bandipur night travel ban is Karnataka's definitive line in the sand. Our forests are not political collateral to be traded just because Congress rules on both sides of the border.

It’s time for CM @dkshivakumar to prove his loyalty lies with the people and wildlife of Karnataka.

FSUI & allied groups held a joint protest today at Collector Office, Bandra, Mumbai against the killing of 3 innocent Indian seafarers by US forces and the death of one due to medical blockade failure.
We stand firmly with the families demanding justice, full support & respect for our seafarers.
No more neglect.

Karnataka has already invested public money to create an alternative route bypassing #Bandipura for the protection of wildlife. Yet, Kerala continues to seek reopening of night traffic through the heart of the National Park.

What is the compelling necessity to travel during the 9-hour restriction between 9 PM and 6 AM? The night traffic ban exists to protect elephants, tigers, leopards, deer and other wildlife from roadkills and disturbance in one of India’s most important ecosystems.

The Government of Karnataka must not dilute its long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation for political considerations. Conservation must take precedence over convenience.

Jio, Airtel & Vi oppose TRAI's push for voice-only plans 👀

Telcos say voice runs on data networks, can't separate them.

Should voice-only plans make a comeback? 🤔
