Of Pawar & Purti....

Attending a function, where former BJP president Nitin Gadkari rolled out business plan of his Purti Group, NCP president and Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar said “there are no untouchables in politics”.
“There should be no untouchables in politics as well as in social work,” Pawar said said at the function held here on Saturday night.
Purti Group had come under the scanner last year over reports of investment by shell companies, which eventually led to Gadkari stepping down as BJP president.
On Saturday Gadkari declared a tie-up with Essar Group for launching 100 petrol pumps across the country. He said the new venture would sell ethanol blended fuel at Rs 2 less than the price of PSU oil companies.
Purti makes ethanol from baggase and other bio-waste. The BJP leader also announced Purti Group's foray into commercial LPG marketing.
