Imagine being born a GC , sacrifice all your student life , study hard for 16 hours a day, write NEET, study again for 10+ years for super specialisation , get into a Govt hospital to gain experience & barely pay your student loan debts with your initial salaries.

Then 10 thugs who have barely passed 10th come and beat you up for the corruption done by same politicians

That’s India for you and why are you doing Medicine again if ur in India ??

Since people have tagged me to this tweet, please find the written response by the Department of Trade of the Bhutanese Govt confirming to me an offer was made by Indian OMCs & the Department requested the OMCs to supply normal petrol.
My verbal interviews confirmed it too.

Introducing Gadkari’s C85 Cement: only 15% cement. Guaranteed to survive the inauguration, not the first rain.

[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

E20 policy was a huge failure.
Not for the reason media told you.
Not for the reason social media told you.

It is deeper than that.
And more worrisome than you think.

Chemistry first.

E10 = 10% ethanol + 90% petrol.
E20 = 20% ethanol + 80% petrol.
Ethanol is alcohol from sugarcane, maize, rice.

It burns cleaner.
It is not the villain here.

Brazil started this in 1975.
Took five decades to mature its fleet.
The US moved to E10 over a generation.

India hit 20% blending by April 2025.
Six years ahead of its own target.

A sprint, where the world walked.

2021.
Niti Aayog.
Roadmap raised red flags.

Vehicles could lose 10-20% efficiency.

Written down.
Signed off.
Implemented anyway.

Now the numbers.

India's petrol fleet = ~17 crore.
Two-wheelers: ~15 crore.
Cars: ~2 crore.

Compliance cutoff: April 1, 2023.
Before, engines built for E10.
After, built for E20.

Pre-2023 two-wheelers = ~12.3 crore.
Pre-2023 cars = ~1.4 crore.
Vehicles actually affected = ~14 crore.
Total Vehicles in India = ~23 crore.

Media wants you picturing a burning nation.
The real number is precise.
Not a Disaster.
But still large.

14 crore is bigger than most countries on earth.

Now the part no press release mentioned.

E20-compliant means replacing:
Fuel lines.
Seals.
Gaskets.

Ethanol is hygroscopic.
It pulls water from air.
Water plus old rubber equals corrosion.
Not myth.
Material science.

Cost per car: ~₹10,000.
Cost per two-wheeler: ~₹5,000.

12.3 crore two-wheelers = ~₹55,000 crore.
1.4 crore cars = ~₹14,000 crore.
National retrofit bill = ~₹70,000 crore.

Here is where government failed.

1. Communication collapsed.
No ministry owned the message to 14 crore owners.
Petroleum Ministry.
Road Transport Ministry.
Information Broadcasting Ministry.

Three departments, zero coordination.
Silence dressed as arrongance.
That it's just 14 crore vehicle owners.

2. No budget was allocated.
A democracy that removes choice from citizens.
Owes those citizens the cost of that removal.

This bill should never reach a mechanic's counter.
It should reach the Finance Ministry.

Now, what the nation actually won.

Farmer income this year, from ethanol alone.
~₹40,000 crore.

Forex saved this year, crude we did not import.
~₹43,000 crore.

Combined gain, one year.
~₹83,000 crore.

Now the other number.
The one-time cost to make all 14 crore vehicles compliant.
~₹70,000 crore.

One year of the win pays the entire bill.
With margin left.

This was never a nation that could not afford fairness.
This was a nation that won.
And made it look like a failure.

Choosing energy independence is a sovereign act.
Every serious nation does it.
But why betray it's people due to irresponsible Beuraucrats?

A government that speaks of strength abroad.
Forgets to fund the strength at home.

Fund it fully.
Or subsidise it at 50%, minimum.

Not because science demands it.
Because democracy does.

14 crore Indians did not vote for this reform.
They are paying it anyway.

Who exactly was this convenience for?

A question to Shri Vikram Gulati Ji, if you are convinced about the adulterated fuel that is being thrust upon the users who have non compliant vehicles or compliant vehicles, why doesn’t your company cover and replace the damaged fuel pump under warranty? I have a Toyota Urban Cruiser 2023 model. Its fuel pump started acting weird, I sent it to the service station and after through checking they said I need to replace the fuel pump as moisture and ethanol in fuel had damaged it. The rubber bush(had swollen) and bearings had worn out. They refused to replace under warranty as it was the effect of fuel quality and ethanol on those parts. I had to pay for a new one and got it fixed. I asked for a written letter with the bill specifying the cause of damage, the service supervisor agreed to give that but the manager refused saying they are not authorised to specify the cause. He said he will send it to the company and try to get the letter but then nothing came. They charged about 16k with labour to replace it , and no warranty on the new one. Later on I came to know through another friend that he also faced the same problem. Now this is the same vehicle that Maruti sells as Brezza. Do they have answers to this issue. I can gather more than 260 users in this city who have had the same issue. And what we see in this PC is this two boot lickers reading out a scripted PR to please the mantri ji. Why have only a PC why not a debate with data and facts with all Auto manufacturers and Oil Co’s along with ARAI & SIAM technical team. After hearing these two, it seems they will be appointed as secretaries in one of these Govt companies as Press Pravakta. Have shame, you are qualified and are forced to read a scripted press note. Lanat hai aap jaise logon pe, jo unhe sar par chadha ke rakhte hai.

[Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 @tehseenp]

Bhutan has rejected INDIA's E20 fuel & the reason is they don’t have storage capacity facilities for "such a hygroscopic (water absorbing) fuel. In our INDIA E20 blended petrol was suddenly made mandatory and thrust upon our vehicles without any information if:

• 1 lakh+ fuel stations have underground tanks that are upgraded to store this E20 blended Fuel ? ( @nachiket1982 's RTI is as usual pending)!

For the record :

• Less than 20% vehicles on road are E20 compatible.

Yet Nitin Gadkari ji under his BETA BADHAO YOJNA & the government made E20 fuel mandatory since 2025 & our “wise” minister Hardeep Puri ji defends it!

Bhutan actually checked the science and infrastructure & cared about their people(s)!

We have just thrust Ethanol 20 blended petrol on the nation!

[Dr. Shama Mohamed @drshamamohd]

The question is, why is the Minister of Road Transport and Highways so deeply involved in petrol and diesel blending, which falls under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas?

The only factor I see behind @nitin_gadkari’s interest is Cian Agro, which is owned by his son.

[Mahesh.BR @Maheshbr4U]

The Whole episode of @CapgeminiIndia, #Bengaluru campus daycare issue is the result of deep corruption in HR System of even bigger companies. Most of HR Professionals ( mostly women) are hired purely on refferals, communication skills & looks only. These HR women ensure awarding of outsourcing services including facility management to the proxy companies owned by husband, brother or other relatives..they will never allow system to scrutinize them... Even company like Capgemini failed to break this nexus.
It was understood that in Capgemini daycare case, they were paid a mere ₹8000 per month for a lady and had compromised on employee quality.
Request CM of #Karnataka @DKShivakumar, Industry Minister @MBPatil , IT BT & Home Minister @PriyankKharge to make a serious audit on all of these outsource activities by Tech Firms.

Ignoring public outrage and calling it politics is how Congress became irrelevant in 2014.

[Kannan @karthikpoth]

@PMOIndia Time to fix this guy before he destroys your government

[Saral Patel @SaralPatel]

Nitin Gadkari is saying that isobutanol will now be produced from ethanol to blend it with diesel. After petrol, his focus is now on destroying diesel vehicles.

The question is, why doesn’t Nitin Gadkari focus on his own Ministry of Road Transport and Highways? Every day, we see highways and expressways collapsing soon after inauguration.

He is interested in ethanol because his son runs Cian Agro, whose share price has increased from ₹41 to above ₹1600 in just 2 years.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

A daycare employee at Capgemini's Bengaluru campus couldn't bear the abuse of the kids at the centre.

She reported it to supervisor, but instead of taking action, they fired her. She then became a whistleblower and leaked videos that exposed the abuse.

In the videos, toddlers were made to sit inside the drum of a front-loading washing machine, had water sprayed into their mouths using a toilet jet spray, were locked inside bathrooms, and were forced into narrow, water-filled pipes to frighten them. The videos triggered outrage, forcing authorities to act.

Today, according to media reports, the police have arrested the whistleblower only for allegedly "leaking sensitive videos." Lol! What a system! A poor woman with a clear conscience stood up to the powerful and went public, not for personal gain or with any malicious intent, but solely to protect those children. And she's the one who gets arrested.

[Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj @DeepikaBhardwaj]

Dear @Chinmayi

It is okay to have disagreements with people but this ???

We can feel outraged with things happening around us that we feel deeply concerned about but sending such messages to people? See a Doctor. Hope you Heal.

[Kannan @karthikpoth]

Its not only about mileage - its about real price of this cocktail, engine life, test results, corruption behind ethanol purchase @PMOIndia @HardeepSPuri @nitin_gadkari @nsitharaman To @narendramodi @PMOIndia @BJP4India Above 3 ministers will single handedly destroy this government and make BJP to loose so bad in 2026.

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri (@HardeepSPuri) addresses concerns over ethanol-blended fuel.

Addressing a press conference in Delhi, he says, "Somebody is saying that fuel mileage is going to drop. It is now well established that ethanol is even used in racing cars. Acceleration improves. What is that called? Knocking? Knocking also improves. Mileage? Yes, it may drop a little. But it may drop slightly due to various factors... Secondly, after consulting all stakeholders, including SIAM and ARAI, we have reached this stage. Then someone says, 'Your insurance will no longer cover this'. Insurance companies have already clarified that there is no such issue. But who benefits from spreading this false narrative? I am not going to make any accusations, but one thing should be very clear. There is enough space in India's growing consumer market for all technologies to coexist. There is room for electric vehicles, biofuel blended vehicles, and we are currently only at 20 per cent ethanol blending. If we move from 20 per cent to 25 per cent, it will happen only after all the necessary tests have been completed. There is also enough space for hybrid vehicles and CNG vehicles..."

I have no idea why India's Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri is talking about fuel prices. He should be talking about roads.
Anyway, Nitin Gadkari is taking care of petroleum.
