Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he had requested an appointment with the Prime Minister, but has yet to receive a response. He further questioned PM Modi, asking if Trump’s pressure was being used to force ethanol on India. He also stated that he would purchase $20 billion worth of ethanol over the next five years.
‘Government’s hidden agenda’
On Monday, Kejriwal addressed a press conference from AAP headquarters. During the conference, he stated that the people of the country are deeply troubled by ethanol, and the Modi government at the center is forcibly imposing it on them. This is reducing vehicle mileage and causing damage. Despite this, the government is imposing it on people without answering questions or providing any reasoning. This suggests that the government may have a hidden agenda.
