Nitin Gadkari denies conflict of interest over ethanol policy
Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has dismissed claims of a conflict of interest linked to the government's ethanol-blending initiative. He stated, "I gain nothing...My share in ethanol production is just 0.07%." He argued that with such a minimal stake, any major financial gain is impossible. While noting that he promotes various alternative fuels, he emphasized that "Ethanol will benefit farmers."
