Serious allegations have emerged, suggesting that Nitin Gadkari and his sons directly benefit from the ethanol-blended E20 petrol initiative, a policy sold as a cleaner fuel alternative. Critics argue that Gadkari’s family controls two dominant ethanol companies and has used their influence for personal financial gain. The minister, meanwhile, denies all charges and claims his business dealings are legitimate, describing his “brain” as worth ₹200 crore per month and repeatedly stating he does not lack money or resort to fraud.
Mukesh Mohan’s investigation alleges that Nitin Gadkari spent crores on social media influencers to orchestrate paid campaigns defending his reputation and deflecting evidence of fraud. Numerous posts and videos surfaced identifying coordinated efforts to flood social platforms with pro-Gadkari messages and undermine critics.
In some cases, content creator Mukesh Mohan and others who questioned the policy experienced pushback from these influencer networks, adding further controversy to the discussion.
Despite mounting criticism and public pressure, Nitin Gadkari continues to dismiss all allegations, claiming that the controversy is politically motivated and the social media uproar is part of a paid opposition campaign. He maintains that ethanol policies are legitimate governmental initiatives meant to benefit farmers and reduce pollution, not avenues for personal enrichment.
Mukesh Mohan’s expose has brought renewed scrutiny on political use of social media, influencer partnerships, and the intersection of business interests with government policy. The issue remains under active debate, with calls for greater transparency and independent investigation into both the ethanol scheme and the digital campaigns defending it.
