Ethanol, E20 and Petrol... the hot topics of discussion.

Here are some facts and a demo.

More details later.

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

JUST IN: The United States has not built a new oil refinery in fifty years. Fifty. The last one broke ground when Nixon was president and oil cost $3 a barrel.

Trump just announced a $300 billion deal to build one. The largest energy investment in American history. Port of Brownsville, Texas. Groundbreaking Q2 2026. Binding 20-year offtake agreement. Processing American shale crude. Thousands of jobs in South Texas. “The cleanest refinery in the world.”

The lead investor is Indian.

Reliance Industries, controlled by the Ambani family with a 50.39% promoter stake, operators of the Jamnagar complex in Gujarat, the largest single-site refinery on Earth, are the confirmed major foreign partner. Trump thanked them on Truth Social as “our partners in India, and their largest privately held Energy Company” for their “tremendous investment.”

Now hold two facts simultaneously.

India’s Reliance Industries is investing billions in an American refinery to process American shale oil for American energy dominance. India’s government, led by Modi, is simultaneously importing over 40% of its crude from Russia at war-discounted prices, rejected the US “permission” framing for a 30-day Russian oil waiver on 7th March (“India has never depended on permission from any country”), and continues buying Iranian crude via Chabahar port logistics.

The same country. The same week. Building American energy independence with one hand. Buying Russian crude with the other. This is not hypocrisy. This is the Modi Doctrine operating at its highest expression.

Multi-alignment means India does not choose sides. It chooses deals. QUAD membership for security. Russian crude for energy. Chabahar for Iranian access. Reliance capital for American refining. Israeli defence technology for military modernisation. Gulf remittances for 10 million workers. No formal alliance with any power. Maximum leverage with all of them. Every relationship is transactional. Every commitment is calibrated. Every contradiction serves a constituency.

Trump needs the refinery because the Iran war just proved that 50 years without building one left America dependent on foreign refining capacity for products its own shale produces. The Strait of Hormuz did not just close oil transit. It closed the refined product supply chain that feeds American gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and petrochemicals. Building domestic refining capacity is the structural response to Actuarial Warfare: if chokepoints can be closed by insurance spreadsheets, the only defence is not needing the chokepoint.

Ambani needs the deal because Reliance’s Jamnagar complex processes Gulf crude that transits Hormuz. The same Strait that is mined, uninsured, and defended by 31 autonomous IRGC commands. Diversifying into American shale refining hedges against the exact crisis currently paralysing Reliance’s primary feedstock route. This is not philanthropy. It is the world’s largest refiner buying insurance that no P&I club can provide.

The war created the crisis. The crisis created the deal. The deal was signed by the country whose Prime Minister was just given “permission” to buy Russian oil and told America it never asked.

Fifty years. One war. One phone call. And the billionaire who builds it is from the country Washington cannot decide whether to sanction or celebrate.

#BREAKING: India’s IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw at Davos strongly counters IMF Chief for calling India a second-tier AI power:

“I don't know what the IMF criteria is but Stanford places India at 3rd in the world for AI preparedness. I don't think your classification is correct.”

हमारी टीम ने Narendra Modi के MPLADS कार्यों की जांच की। 18 मई 2014 से 11 मार्च 2022 तक ₹22.50 करोड़ फंड जारी हुआ और ₹22.71 करोड़ का व्यय दिखता है। 292 कार्य अनुशंसित, जिनमें से 275 कार्य पूरे—यानी करीब 90% पूर्णता। यह आँकड़े जवाबदेही और कार्यान्वयन की स्पष्ट तस्वीर देते हैं।

मानना पड़ेगा , बनारस के लोग सौभाग्यशाली हैं कि उनका सांसद अपने क्षेत्र के विकास के प्रति प्रतिबद्ध दिखता है। काम सिर्फ़ काग़ज़ों में नहीं, बल्कि ज़मीन पर दिखना चाहिए और यहाँ पूर्णता का स्तर उसी दिशा में संकेत करता है। डेटा-आधारित आकलन बताता है कि योजना, अनुश्रवण और निष्पादन पर ध्यान दिया गया।

सच्चा लोकतंत्र वही है जहाँ आलोचना के साथ-साथ प्रशंसा भी हो। यह उदाहरण बाकी सांसदों के लिए संदेश है—MPLADS को गंभीरता से लें, अपने क्षेत्र की ज़रूरतें समझें, कामों को समय पर पूरा करें और पारदर्शिता बनाए रखें। जनता परिणाम चाहती है, और परिणाम देने वालों की तारीफ करना भी लोकतांत्रिक जिम्मेदारी है।

The cessation of military operations on land sea and air from 1700h today is a most welcome development. However we must continue to maintain the pressure on other fronts to reach a permanent long lasting solution. We cannot keep having an incident based response and losing lives to terror strikes. This is strike three, no more chances in future.
