No one is saying ethanol is bad for the country.

People are simply saying: allow E0/E10 petrol for older vehicles.

Why is that so hard to understand?

For the past several years I have been arguing in favour of rigid pavements made of either brushed form-finish cement concrete laid in situ or use dressed granite 40 mm, as granite prices have fallen quite a bit.

Somehow BBMP and now GBA has been reluctant to move towards those designs and has been preferring interlocking cement blocks laid on sand bed. These interlocking cement blocks collapse and become uneven after one or two rains, and we see contractors replacing the cement blocks once every few years.

Urban designers, architects need to debate this. A sample image is below @nnarasimhan @krishnabgowda @rk_misra

Looking at the number of left-hand batters in the Indian T20 team right now, it’s even more of a reason for Team India to look at Rajat Patidar going forward.

I really hope he gets an opportunity, especially since there is still plenty of time for Team India to experiment before the next T20 World Cup.

There was a global crisis (& it's not entirely over). The reason we're now able to reverse the LPG prices is because our government remained level headed.
Don't expect the usual lot to acknowledge it but the citizens must appreciate this mature handling.

Rahul Gandhi will never attack Nitin Gadkari despite knowing that his sons run an ethanol company whose revenue went from 18 crore to 723 crore in a year, but ill tell you exactly why in a bit.

Gadkari sir is rooting for ethanol blending since 10 years now, this policy literally converts each sugar mill into an ethanol factory.

But who owns the sugar mills of India?

In Maharashtra alone, 104 out of 207 mills are private, and almost every single one is owned by a politician.

Sharad Pawar's late nephew Ajit Pawar controls 6 mills with 58,000 TCD capacity, the biggest sugar baron in the country.

The Vilasrao Deshmukh family runs 10 mills through Manjara Group.

Vijaysinh Mohite Patil, Jayant Patil, Vishwajeet Kadam, the entire Maharashtra Congress and NCP leadership runs sugar empires.

In Karnataka, 33 of 34 private mills are owned by politicians. The Jarkiholi brothers, M B Patil, Murugesh Nirani, Prabhakar Kore, S Shivashankarappa, all Congress, all sugar barons.

Now do you see the problem yet? When ethanol blending goes from 5% to 20%, every single one of these politician-owned mills makes crores in extra revenue.

Gadkari's sons made 700 crore. But the Pawars, the Deshmukhs, the Patils, the Jarkiholis, they ALL made their cut.

The worst part is that these mills dont even pay their bills

The Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghtana estimates that of ~180 defaulting mills in Maharashtra, 77 are linked to BJP, 53 to NCP, 43 to Congress and the rest to Shiv Sena leaders

Inko kuch nahi kehna hai, kyunki sab ek hi dhandhe mein hain.

This is not a Gadkari problem. This is a sugar lobby problem that runs across every party. The opposition cannot attack the ethanol policy because their own MLAs would be the next target.

The moment Rahul attacks ethanol, his own MLAs become the next headline.

Indians are busy fighting tu leftist mai rashtravadi but only the smart ones know the real game.

Be smart and get prepared for 100% ethanol, a world without diesel.

Narendra Modi (2026) vs Indira Gandhi (1973)

Modi: Neutral

Result: 7 days panic about gas supply, then forgotten

Liberals: OMG! India is living hell

Indira G: Full support to Arabs against Israel

Result: Inflation 28%, GDP growth 1% in 1974

Liberals: Wow, Iron Lady Indira!
