BJP MP hits back at ethanol blending critics, asks if they expect pure petrol from home
Janardan Mishra, the BJP MP representing Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, has come out in support of the central government's ethanol blending initiative. He argued that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has made it impossible to source pure petrol in the country. Addressing those opposing the policy, Mishra remarked, "Protests are happening after Modiji announced 20% ethanol blending... is pure petrol going to come from your father's house?" The MP is frequently in the news for his provocative statements.
