KEJRIWAL CATCHES MODI GOVT’S E20 EXPERIMENT SCAM 🔥 Centre told the Supreme Court E20 is an experiment. Newspapers reported it, and the same government ran from its own statement. What kind of experiment is forced on an entire country? You test on 100 vehicles, maybe 1,000. Modi govt made 140 crore people and every vehicle part of the trial. BPCL’s own expert says ethanol has around 30% lower mileage in chemical form. Then cut the price by 30% na? Same petrol price, lower mileage, higher running cost. Citizens get the bill, government gets the headline. Kejriwal is writing to the Prime Minister demanding rollback.

People had barely adjusted to E20 fuel, and now KG5 is already being pushed—with just a ₹20 price difference. The government says ethanol blending doesn’t harm engines and claims extensive testing backs it up. But when asked for details of those tests, the information is reportedly “confidential.” Meanwhile, vehicle owners continue to raise concerns about mileage, performance, and long-term engine health. Comparing India to Brazil ignores one key fact: Brazil’s vehicle ecosystem is built for higher ethanol blends. At this rate, it feels like every fuel is becoming an ethanol experiment. Stay alert. And maybe keep a glass of sugarcane juice handy—it might be the only thing not being blended yet. 🌾😄

#WATCH | Guwahati, Assam: Raijor Dal MLA Akhil Gogoi staged protest in the Assam assembly premises against Ethanol blend fuel He says, "By mixing 20% ethanol in petrol, they have ruined our car engines. Mileage has also reduced. The government is saying that this is an experiment. If it is an experiment, then try it in one or two vehicles. Why in the entire country? If you want to experiment further, then make a provision that for those who use normal petrol, it will be normal petrol and for those who use E20, it will be E-E20. And thirdly, you should look at the price, look at the price of petrol, 20% ethanol is mixed in it. Has the price of petrol reduced after this?..."

🚨 Nitin Gadkari Hits Back Union Minister Nitin Gadkari rejects allegations that his family benefited from India’s E20 ethanol blending policy. Critics pointed to the rising revenue of his son Nikhil’s firm CIAN Agro, but Gadkari says it supplies just 0.05% of India’s ethanol from 500+ distilleries, with prices fixed by the Cabinet “No favoritism.” He highlights the policy’s gains: ₹1.04 lakh crore paid to distillers, major income to farmers, cleaner fuel & reduced imports. India has already touched 20% blending ahead of the 2025 target.

Most Indian vehicles aren’t even E20 compatible ..yet Nitin Gadkari ji is forcing 100% ethanol norms on us! We the people pay full price for our vehicles + we pay road taxes, insurance, tolls, GST on vehicles, parking, GST on spares, basically or lot of money for everything that one can think of! And yet in return we get Pathetic roads, mostly terrible infrastructure, traffic jams and now fuel that destroys the engines and kills mileage of our vehicles! Meanwhile we all know that most sugar mills owned by netas & their families and it is their linked companies that are minting crores from ethanol distilleries. Let's cut out the BS, this is a straight-up Ethanol Scam! And while we INDIANs have to pay a price & yet suffer, these netas profit and make money! Also say if one wants non blended fuel instead of this nonsensical E-20, E-30 or E-100 why can't we be given that? #EthanolScam #GadkariEthanol #MiddleClassLoot

But contractors pay netas their cut money & encroachers who cause traffic jams are vote banks of netas. We are told ethanol is “good for the environment” but to produce 1 litre of ethanol it takes 2500-3500 litres of water at sugar mills or above 10,000 litres per litre at rice mills! This when the country is facing water shortage. How is this good for anyone except the netas? Most ethanol distilleries are owned by netas, for example Nitin Gadkari ji’s son! And please tell me how is Gadkari ji announcing ethanol policy when he is neither the Petroleum Minister, nor Agriculture Minister, nor Industry Minister? We the people pay full price for our vehicles + road tax + insurance + tolls + GST on spares… and in return we get pathetic roads, terrible infrastructure & now forced ethanol-blended fuel that kills mileage & damages engines.

#WATCH | Bhubaneswar, Odisha: On concerns over ethanol-blended petrol, General Secretary, Utkal Petroleum Dealers’ Association, Sanjay Lath says, "... E20 fuel began to be supplied fully from October–November 2025, and from 1 April 2026 the government made it mandatory for private players and all oil companies to sell only E20. Since the notification, some people have raised psychological concerns, often posting on social media without evidence. At our own petrol pumps, none of the customers’ vehicles has shown any problems with E20. Those posting online also have no proof that E20 damages engines. Yes, three institutions produced reports on the long-term effects of E20, suggesting that older vehicles might experience problems, particularly on rubber parts. But there is no such proof of damage as of now." (04.07)

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol-blended fuel, Former Chairman & Managing Director of Engineers India Limited, Vartika Shukla, says, "Regarding the E20 fuel launched on December 25, part of the 'One Nation, One Fuel' initiative, it was initially introduced in select regions before reaching every retail outlet... E20 was launched pan-India following rigorous testing on various 4-wheeler and 2-wheeler engines ahead of the 2030 mandate. It is a significant step towards decarbonization... As for engine performance, there is a marginal drop, but this depends on various factors such as driving habits, etc..." She adds, "The EBP (Ethanol Blended Petrol) program began in 2018 with significant stakeholder engagement... Oil marketing companies complied with standards... There is absolutely no gap in the scientific methodology used to determine these standards."

THE E20 DEBATE: FACTS VS HYPOCRISY. HERE'S AN UNDENIABLE FACT: The E20 programme did not begin under the Modi government. Ethanol blending was approved years earlier, during the UPA. The difference is in execution. Blending remained stuck at roughly 1–1.5% for years before accelerating significantly under the NDA. So, let's first get the politics out of the way. If ethanol blending was acceptable in principle then, why is it suddenly portrayed as anti-people now? Now, let's look at the arguments being presented by critics: CRITICS ARGUMENT 1: E20 FUEL IS BEING PUSHED BY NDA TO KEEP SUGAR CANE FARMERS HAPPY. There's no doubt Ethanol is creating an additional income stream for sugarcane farmers. But governments have always handed out subsidies or incentives to farmers. + MSP exists for 23 crops. Sugar cane farmers get SAP or State Advised Price. + Fertiliser subsidies. + Cheap or free electricity. + Irrigation subsidies. + Procurement policies. If these benefits to farmers are accepted as legitimate public policy, why is E20 policy being targeted in isolation for market distortion? CRITICS ARGUMENT 2: ETHANOL PRODUCTION IS WATER CONSUMING. Yes, sugarcane consumes a great deal of water. But so do + Paddy cultivators. Just look at the tumbling water tables in Punjab, Haryana. + AI and data centers. + Semiconductor manufacturing. + Steel and cement production. The question is not whether something uses water, but whether the benefits justify the costs. Again why are critics holding E20 alone to a test that they don't set for others? CRITICS ARGUMENT 3: THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT MAKE E20 MANDATORY. LEAVE IT TO CHOICE. We're in a democracy and choice matters. But governments routinely make decisions that we, the people have no choice but to accept. + Taxation rates + Emission norms. + Fuel quality standards. + Safety regulations. + Identity Proof. These are often choices imposed to achieve broader national goals. Shouldn't E20 should be judged in the same way? Here's how E20 usage serves NATIONAL INTEREST: + India imports 85–90% of its crude oil. E20 seeks to address that by replacing up to 20% of petrol volume with domestically produced ethanol, helping diversify the fuel mix and reducing import costs. + With E20 NDA estimates saving Rs 1 lakh crore in foreign-exchange. CRITICS ARGUMENT 4: COST OF CAR ENGINE WEAR AND TEAR, MILEAGE INEFFICIENCY OUTWEIGHS BENEFITS. It is true that Ethanol has about 34% less energy per litre than petrol. But because E20 contains only 20% ethanol, the overall energy content of the fuel falls by roughly 4%–7%. So at 5% a car that gives 20 km/L on pure petrol will give 19km/L. But usage also improves air quality. Which increases longevity in humans and lowers healthcare costs over time. That is s fair trade-off. CONCLUSION: Every policy is a trade off. E20 isn't perfect. But if agricultural subsidies, procurement, irrigation policy and fuel regulations are accepted as legitimate public policy, then judge ethanol using the same yardstick.

Tehseen Poonawalla is absolutely right & must be supported by everyone univocally on this issue. If you don’t support him, you risk your valuable vehicles which are at risk now. The forced E20 ethanol blending policy has become a textbook case of conflict of interest, lack of transparency, and disregard for the common citizen. How people of India are being treated as Guinea pigs for trials and how their only precious asset a 2,3 or 4 wheeler is risked is appalling, brazen and shames less and that to benefit Mr Gadkari’s son 😡 While Union Minister Nitin Gadkari aggressively pushes mandatory E20 — claiming it helps farmers and cuts imports — his own sons reportedly have direct business interests in ethanol distilleries that have seen massive revenue surges. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri defends it by comparing our daily drivers to racing cars and downplays mileage drops, engine wear, and the complete absence of consumer choice. This is unacceptable. Citizens have every right to choose between E20 and regular petrol. Old cars, new cars, bikes — all are being forced into an untested rollout without proper public disclosure of ARAI reports or impact studies. When policy benefits connected businesses while harming vehicle owners and wallets, accountability must follow. Let’s take a note of the fact that ICICI Lombard has refused to settle claims for issues related to vehicle damages in this context. Tehseen’s demand is fully justified — Nitin Gadkari and Hardeep Singh Puri must be sacked, without further delay. The people of India deserve transparency, choice, and ministers who put the nation before family business interests.

Old cars, new cars, bikes — all are being forced into an untested rollout without proper public disclosure of ARAI reports or impact studies. When policy benefits connected businesses while harming vehicle owners and wallets, accountability must follow. Let’s take a note of the fact that ICICI Lombard has refused to settle claims for issues related to vehicle damages in this context. Tehseen’s demand is fully justified — Nitin Gadkari and Hardeep Singh Puri must be sacked, without further delay. The people of India deserve transparency, choice, and ministers who put the nation before family business interests.

VIDEO | Delhi: Advocate Prashant Bhushan on Supreme Court notice on a PIL to fix election expenditure of political parties, says, “Today there was an important PIL filed by Common Cause and Center for Public Interest Litigation, seeking a limit on the expenditure by political parties whose candidates are contesting elections. While there is a limit on the expenditure of individual candidates, there is no limit on the expenditure of political parties. And the Supreme Court, as well as the Election Commission, has stated repeatedly that this is creating a situation where money power rules our electoral democracy. And therefore there needs to be a limit on the expenditure political parties. So today, the Supreme Court has issued notice to the Election Commission and to the Government of India on this important petition.”

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "...I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about the fuel. For example, if you look at it from the automotive sector, there is a lot of myth that if you use E20 blended fuel, vehicles will get damaged. It's a myth. It doesn't happen this way. There's a lot of myth about the amount of mileage loss or the fuel efficiency loss. Yes, there is some fuel efficiency loss, no doubt. But it is not so big as it is being made out to be...E85 and E100, that is, 85% ethanol and 100 % ethanol, are not meant for regular cars. It is meant for a different type of technology, which is called a flex fuel vehicle. This vehicle can take any mix of ethanol. So people need not worry. E20 is the standard fuel that will be available, and it is compatible with old vehicles and new vehicles. All vehicles sold after 1st of April 2023 are fully materially compliant with E20. And people need to be reassured that in 2021, before we went into E20, there was a very detailed scientific study done by the leading automobile testing agency in the country, which is ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India). It clearly established that the possible damage to cars and two wheelers which are old is not there. It's very insignificant. And it also established that the fuel efficiency loss is to the extent of 2 to 4 per cent, not significant." On ethanol, he says, "As per the latest statistics from the government, the program so far has helped save 1.9 trillion rupees. Out of that, 1,60,000 crores has gone to farmers. So in the case of India, it's not only helped us to in some way mitigate the energy crisis, but it's also helped us to help the farmers...The reason why not just India, but many other countries are doing it is for energy security, for the agrarian economy, as well as for fighting climate change and environmental purposes."

#WATCH | On SC Collegium recommending transfer of Justice Yashwant Varma of Delhi HC to his parent High Court in Allahabad after an adverse report against him, Retired Justice SN Dhingra says "What is there to say in this. Corruption in Judiciary is well known. Not just from today but from a long time. Action should be taken on this; they are also aware of it, but no such measure has been taken to correct it and to remove corruption. Till date, corruption is increasing and the common man has to bear the brunt of it...First of all, there are no rules for the judges of High Court and Supreme Court. When currency notes were caught in this, the Supreme Court should have immediately taken permission to register an FIR. Just like an FIR is lodged against a common man, similarly permission should be given to lodge an FIR against a judge and further action should be taken along with it. The Supreme Court should have done this..."
