BJP MP Janardan Mishra sparked controversy with a provocative statement during a public event in Rewa, questioning critics of India’s ethanol-blending policy. Mishra, representing the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, reportedly said, “Will pure petrol come from your father’s house?” in response to opposition voices against the government’s push to mix ethanol with petrol. The remark, captured on video and widely shared on social media, has drawn both support and criticism (aajtak.in).
Mishra’s comments were made during a program at Rewa Airport, where he addressed the issue of India’s reliance on oil imports. He defended the ethanol policy as a necessary measure to reduce dependence on foreign oil, a key challenge for the country. The statement, though controversial, reflects ongoing debates over energy policy and sustainability in India (thehindu.com).
The video of Mishra’s remarks has become a focal point of discussion, highlighting the tensions between traditional fuel sources and alternative energy solutions. While some supporters praise his bold stance, others argue that such rhetoric could undermine public trust in policy initiatives. The incident underscores the polarized nature of energy debates in India’s political landscape.
