UP Congress chief writes to PM, seeks probe into ethanol-blended fuel policy
Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai wrote to PM Narendra Modi seeking an impartial investigation into the Centre's ethanol-blended fuel policy.
Rai alleged the government is ignoring concerns of over 35 crore registered vehicle owners while pushing policies like E85 and E100 after E20.
The letter questioned the lack of accountability for technical issues and reduced mileage from ethanol blending by oil companies.
Rai claimed ethanol-blended petrol is sold at nearly the same price as regular petrol, contradicting promises of cheaper fuel.
He also targeted Union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Hardeep Singh Puri, suggesting they should face consequences over the policy.
