Rahul Gandhi will never attack Nitin Gadkari despite knowing that his sons run an ethanol company whose revenue went from 18 crore to 723 crore in a year, but ill tell you exactly why in a bit.
Gadkari sir is rooting for ethanol blending since 10 years now, this policy literally converts each sugar mill into an ethanol factory.
But who owns the sugar mills of India?
In Maharashtra alone, 104 out of 207 mills are private, and almost every single one is owned by a politician.
Sharad Pawar's late nephew Ajit Pawar controls 6 mills with 58,000 TCD capacity, the biggest sugar baron in the country.
The Vilasrao Deshmukh family runs 10 mills through Manjara Group.
Vijaysinh Mohite Patil, Jayant Patil, Vishwajeet Kadam, the entire Maharashtra Congress and NCP leadership runs sugar empires.
In Karnataka, 33 of 34 private mills are owned by politicians. The Jarkiholi brothers, M B Patil, Murugesh Nirani, Prabhakar Kore, S Shivashankarappa, all Congress, all sugar barons.
Now do you see the problem yet? When ethanol blending goes from 5% to 20%, every single one of these politician-owned mills makes crores in extra revenue.
Gadkari's sons made 700 crore. But the Pawars, the Deshmukhs, the Patils, the Jarkiholis, they ALL made their cut.
The worst part is that these mills dont even pay their bills
The Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghtana estimates that of ~180 defaulting mills in Maharashtra, 77 are linked to BJP, 53 to NCP, 43 to Congress and the rest to Shiv Sena leaders
Inko kuch nahi kehna hai, kyunki sab ek hi dhandhe mein hain.
This is not a Gadkari problem. This is a sugar lobby problem that runs across every party. The opposition cannot attack the ethanol policy because their own MLAs would be the next target.
The moment Rahul attacks ethanol, his own MLAs become the next headline.
Indians are busy fighting tu leftist mai rashtravadi but only the smart ones know the real game.
Be smart and get prepared for 100% ethanol, a world without diesel.
