A humble request to the Government of India 🙏 Please do not test the patience and trust of ordinary citizens. We trust Prime Minister Modi ji and support his vision, but that does not mean policymakers and ministers should be free from accountability. The increasing promotion of flex-fuel and isobutanol-blended fuels is raising serious concerns among vehicle owners. For many middle-class families, buying a car is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement, made possible through years of hard work and savings. Any policy that may adversely affect vehicle reliability, maintenance costs, or longevity directly impacts millions of citizens. Before implementing such measures on a large scale, please ensure thorough testing, transparency, and protection for consumers. Development and innovation are important, but they should not come at the expense of the very people who place their trust in the government. Please do not do this to your voters and to the common people who have supported you with faith and confidence. @narendramodi @AmitShah @HardeepSPuri @PMOIndia @BJP4India @nitin_gadkari @amitmalviya @TajinderBagga @Tejasvi_Surya

इस लाल गाड़ी के मालिक नितिन गडकरी जी से एक सवाल पूछ रहे हैं। यह कह रहे हैं कि मैंने यह गाड़ी साल 2019 में खरीदी थी, इस गाड़ी में साफ लिखा हुआ इंस्ट्रक्शन है कि इसमें E5 और E10 ही पेट्रोल चलेगा। लेकिन अप्रैल से सरकार द्वारा E20 पेट्रोल लागू कर दिया गया। तो इस गाड़ी के मालिक का कहना है कि इसमें पेट्रोल कहां से डालूं और नुकसान का भरपाई कौन करेगा।

If this Ethanol Minister @nitin_gadkari continues his nonsense any further, @narendramodi the nation will see a huge logistical halt when all the vehicles get totalled in the next 5 years. You need to start Pradhan Mantri ethanol Minister hatao engine bachao Yojana immediately.
🚨 The Indian government is holding off on a mandatory rollout of fuel blends higher than E20 and leave it to buyers to decide on flex fuel vehicles. 🙏 (TOI)

I’m done with government damaging our precious cars with Ethanol experiments. Neither opposition nor media cares. I propose “Car Bandh Day”- one day a week when car owners don’t use their cars. Demands are simple: > An option for pure petrol > Blended petrol at reduced prices

I think everything is just made complicated E0 E15 E20 E22 E25 E27 E30 E85 Having options is good, but how will the supply chain and logistics work ? Taxation is complicated, people might get confused on what to and what not to fill Finally R&D will struggle

The government has extended central excise duty exemptions to petrol blended with 22%, 25%, 27% and 30% ethanol. There will be a nil excise duty rate for fuel blends that conform to BIS standards.

Don’t fall for the headline. In 2014, excise duty on petrol was ₹9.48/litre. By May 2020, while the world was locked down and crude had crashed to $20/barrel, Modi govt hiked it to ₹32.98/litre. A 348% spike. They collected ₹38.89 lakh crore from fuel taxes in 10 years. Now “scrapping excise”, but only on E22 to E30 ethanol-blended petrol. Not your regular fuel. A blend that, per a survey of 37,000 vehicle owners, caused unusual wear & tear in 28% of vehicles bought before 2022, with 2/3rds reporting a mileage drop. Two major bike makers & Shell India warned: pre-2023 vehicles risk engine damage and warranty loss. So here’s the conflict of interest no one’s talking about: 🔴 The govt mandates E20 blending nationwide → forces you onto a fuel that damages your older vehicle → the ethanol supply chain benefits sugar mill lobbies with deep political connections → Nitin Gadkari’s family business is tied to Maharashtra’s sugar belt. The govt itself admitted mileage drops up to 6% in older vehicles. You pay for the fuel. You pay for the repairs. You pay for the insurance gap. And today’s “good news”? It doesn’t cut retail prices by a single rupee. It just incentivises higher ethanol blending; pushing you deeper into a fuel your vehicle wasn’t built for. This isn’t relief. It’s a con wrapped in a press release. First, bleed the common man. Then rebrand the knife as medicine.

Indeed... similar scenario in parts of Pune too. Some will find it hard to believe... but the central Deccan Gymkhana area - Prabhat Road/Bhandarkar Road/Law College Road had a lot less tree cover 50-100 years back than present. Many of the current large trees were planted after 1950s/60s/70s. The Law College Hill was almost completely barren - just had the native grass growing all over).
If there’s will to make an area green & shaded, it will be done. IIT Bombay for example, has more greenery & trees today, than it did during its early years. Many such examples across the country.

The latest @LocalCircles poll on experience of pre-2023 vehicle owners who attribute one or more issues with their vehicle to #E20 has just concluded. The findings clearly indicate a problem and vehicle owners must be given the choice of higher quality petrol. @VishnuFNO @ggganeshh @ikaveri @TheVishalKay @kapsology @Broufus @sandygrains @venkat_fin9 @MnshaP @Ragnaar888 @bsdhanoa @Sydusm @TheSincereDude @_mrchaturvedi @magarmach_ @pablochaterji @speakshoutroar @himanshu31_

Only citizens can halt this mindless destruction of trees that continues non-stop in Pune. Visit this link and file your objection NOW! (Just a couple of clicks, the text and form are already in place). Last day tomorrow. punesamvad.wordpress.com/202…
1,500 trees wld be felled, yet citizens are being denied access to see what is actually planned. Today, ChaloPMC members visited the Botanical Survey of India campus in Mundhwa to understand the proposed tree felling. We were stopped from entering and could only gain access after police intervention. If everything is transparent, why is information being hidden from the public? 📢 June 9 is the last day to file objections. The link is in our bio. Please take a minute to raise your voice and help protect this vital green space. #Save1500Trees #PedBachao #TransparencyLao #ChaloPMC #Pune #SavePune #CitizenAction #EnvironmentMatters #RightToKnow #GreenPune #TreeProtection #UrbanForests

When will our government become this strict in India? A statement by Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has gone viral after he warned contractors over poor-quality roads and potholes. His remarks have sparked debate on accountability in public infrastructure projects and the need to ensure taxpayers' money is spent effectively. The comments have resonated with many people who regularly face damaged roads despite large public spending on infrastructure. The discussion is now raising a broader question: should governments take tougher action against contractors who fail to deliver quality work? #RoadSafety #Infrastructure #PublicAccountability #Uganda #Punetimesmirror

NITIN Gadkari’s obsession with Ethanol will be the single reason why NDA will lose power eventually. The anger is rising and it’s just going to get worse. Existing owners of vehicles bought a few years ago are experiencing issues. People buy vehicles after saving for years.

Open Challenge to NHAI and Shri Nitin Gadkari : Show the people of India a "single" highway project constructed in the last few years that has not required patchwork, repairs, or maintenance within two years of completion. Thousands of crores of public money are spent on highway construction every year, yet many roads fail to maintain their quality for even 2–3 years. Despite repeated claims of world-class infrastructure, cutting-edge technology, and rapid development, citizens continue to witness potholes, damaged stretches, and frequent repair work. True infrastructure is measured not by announcements and inauguration ceremonies, but by quality, durability, and accountability. The people of India deserve roads that last for years, not highways that begin deteriorating soon after they are built. It is time for answers and accountability. Taxpayers deserve better..! @NHAI_Official @nitin_gadkari @narendramodi @AmitShah @BJP4India @amitmalviya
