At a time when rising prices of essential commodities as well as fuel are hitting the common people hard, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has made a big statement while addressing a meeting at Pratapgarh in Rajasthan.
While speaking at the meeting, Gadkari said the Central government is of the view that the farmers not only become 'annadata' but also 'urjadata'. Already steps have been taken to ensure that the vehicles now run on ethanol produced by farmers.
“If an average of 60% ethanol and 40% electricity is taken then petrol will be available at the rate of Rs 15 per litre and the people will be benefitted,” said Gadkari.
The Union Minister further said that by this the pollution and import will reduce. At present, the import is of Rs 16 lakh crore and this money will go to the homes of farmers instead.
“Our farmers will not be annadata, but they will become urjadata as well. All vehicles will now run on ethanol and the pollution level in the country will reduce. The villages will be developed and the children of farmers will prosper,” said Gadkari.
According to Gadkari, India under PM Narendra Modi’s leadership is now one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.
