"168 ka petrol available hai, toh bharo na."
The sheer arrogance in this statement by Nitin Gadkari sums up the government's stance on the fuel crisis.
Force consumers into buying cheaper-to-produce E20 ethanol blends at premium prices, suffer a massive drop in vehicle mileage, and if they complain about engine damage, tell them to track down ₹168/liter pure petrol instead.
We are paying record-high taxes only to be gaslit by the people we elected. The middle class isn't a bottomless ATM for policy experiments.
Sarthak Goswami has brilliantly exposed how Ethanol production is ruining a beautiful city.
He went to Byrnihat to investigate why a city with less than one lakh people is more polluted than Delhi, Ghaziabad & Lahore.
The reason? There are more than 80 factories in a small area, that are constantly pumping dust particles in the air.
The worst part is that these factories are producing Ethanol, the same product that is being sold as a solution to pollution.
I hope Gadkari can explain this without calling Sarthak a traitor.

@CPCB_OFFICIAL this transfer site always keep on burning the garbage. Look how close it is to residences. How this can be permitted. Senior citizens having difficulty in breathing. @MCF_Faridabad how is this even permitted?

Slow claps 👏 for the Govt and the advocates of ethanol.
Arguments given to justify ethanol being forced into incompatible vehicles:
1. It'll reduce crude imports
2. It'll benefit farmers
Reality:
1. Not just has the crude import not reduced (in fact it's growing at a pace faster than pre-ethanol days), but now we will be importing expensive US corn to make ethanol.
2. It'll benefit farmers, but NiGa forgot to mention that he's talking about US farmers.
I'm afraid the arrogance & toolkit politics of the BJP will lead to more violent protests. E20 outrage by the common man was deemed by them as a paid agitation. Leh protests are being portrayed as Congress backed. According to BJP we are all in Amrit kaal and anyone complaining is either Congressi or paid by CIA/Soros. I seriously fear that if they don't start listening & empathising, public resentment would boil over.
Huge??? This is a huge betrayal of taxpayers. Our money is being shamelessly used to buy votes instead of building roads, healthcare, or infrastructure. As a taxpayer, I get nothing in return only see my hard-earned money wasted on freebies. I strongly oppose such schemes and reject the party that runs on them.

Why can't we get PURE PETROL in this country even after paying highest tax on fuel in the world? Is everything only for Gareebs? Are we only born to pay taxes after taxes? We cannot afford a new car every 5 years. YES ETHNOL HARMS ENGINE AND MILEAGE DROPS DRASTICALLY. @volklub
@MCF_Faridabad@DC_Faridabad raised request on MCF portal about major potholes but not getting addressed through your app. One due from December 2024. What's the use of the launching the app if it's not even acknowledged, let alone any action. #Faridabad#smartcity
Every day you hear from @nitin_gadkari that there is no mileage loss due to the use of ethanol, and he often gives the example of Brazil.
Let us expose his lies.
The claimed mileage of cars in Brazil like the Creta, Kwid, and Polo is actually 45-50% less than that of their Indian counterparts.
This is due to the E27 and E100 blending as compared to E10 mileage data for Indian cars.
Do you expect that in Brazil, where all cars are E27 compliant, they will give less mileage, but their counterparts in India, where most cars are not E20 compliant, will magically show no drop in mileage, as per Nitin Gadkari?
Be ready for the same mileage drop as in Brazil as @PetroleumMin and Nitin Gadkari force more ethanol blend on you
ये NiGa एण्ड family #gadkari#NitinGadkari देश की जनता के vehicles के घोड़े लगवा के ही मानेगा !
अब तो नीति आयोग का document भी वेबसाईट से हटा दिया है !
CIAN Agro Industries (NiGa's Family company) keep going on 5% upper circuit!

Car24 team recently did a test of mileage drop after using E20 petrol in a 2015 model Maruti Dezire.
Here are the results;
E0 - 22.2 km/l
E20 - 14.5 km/l
They also witnessed engine noise, reduced AC cooling and pickup.
Gadkari can lie whole day but he can not hide the facts.
हमारे सवाल:
• एथेनॉल से देश के किसानों को कितना फायदा हुआ?
• एथेनॉल मिश्रण के बाद भी महंगा पेट्रोल-डीजल क्यों मिल रहा है?
• अगर E20 को बढ़ावा देना पब्लिक पॉलिसी है तो इसका फायदा सिर्फ नितिन गडकरी के बेटों को ही क्यों मिला?
• नरेंद्र मोदी करप्शन पर 'जीरो टॉलरेंस' की बात करते हैं, लेकिन क्या वो अपने भतीजों पर जांच बैठाएंगे?
• साल 2014-2025 के बीच पेट्रोल-डीजल पर CESS के जरिए जो पैसा (करीब 40 लाख करोड़ रुपए) कमाया गया- उसका हिसाब जनता को कब मिलेगा?
