New Delhi: Stepping up its attack on the government over the E20 fuel rollout, the Congress on Thursday said the motivations behind the move were clearly not environmental and asserted that a genuinely "green" fuel policy must account for the entire ecological footprint of the fuel it promotes.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the Modi government is billing the hurried nationwide rollout of E20 fuel as a step towards cleaner energy and lower oil imports, but a holistic assessment of its ecological impact must account for E20's impact on water resources and food security.
