Ethanol will hurt the BJP electorally, not because of car owners, the are just 8% of the population, but because of bike owners, who make up 60%.
Every issue with a bike, irrespective of whether it's due to ethanol or not, is being blamed on ethanol. Remember that the overwhelming majority of car and bike mechanics are not your voters and, in fact, they hate you and you know why. They are actively telling anyone with any bike issue that it is due to ethanol. Not only does it serve a political purpose, but it is also easy and convincing.
Car and bike dealers are equally happy to lean into this excuse because it completely deflects blame away from the manufacturers and their own service centers. If a part fails prematurely or a vehicle suffers from a chronic engineering defect, blaming ethanol allows dealers to shift the responsibility onto government policy rather than admitting to poor build quality or honoring warranty claims. It gives them a convenient, politically charged scapegoat that customers readily accept, shielding the automotive brands from reputational damage.
It's up to the BJP to smell the coffee. The issue is no longer on Twitter and no longer raised just by English-speaking metro car owners. It has gone to the ground. There is still time to wake up and make corrections.
P.S. I'm not defending ethanol here. It does damage engines and parts. I've been strongly opposing it and will keep doing so. I'm only saying what's happening on the ground. The BJP should do a course correction on ethanol solely because its implementation was wrong and correcting it is only logical. However, since politicians see every controversy from the standpoint of electoral gains and losses, I'm telling them that it will hurt them electorally too.

An old video of Brigadier Aryan Verma has come to light in which the general officer is motivating UPSC aspirants. A two time NEET aspirant himself, the distinguished officer tells them that they too can become like him. Don't miss the gunmen's pose in the beginning of the video.
Guess who exposed this?

Those who routinely mock or undermine Bajrang Dal should know why organisations like it matter. When serious allegations emerge, they often bring them to the attention of law enforcement....
Shibu Soren took a 50 lac bribe to save the Congress govt. The case was so open & shut that a judge even ordered his bribe to be taxed. But the Supreme Court let him off as bribes came under Parliamentary privilege.
Yesterday, Mr Soren was posthumously awarded the Padmabhushan.
