In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress General Secretary alleged that Gadkari took "undue interest" in raising the blending percentage of Ethanol in Petrol from 10 to 22.5.
"Nikhil, son of Gadkari, is listed as a Director of Purti Power and Sugar Ltd. Sensing the decision of the government to increase the blending percentage, Purti decided to treble its production from 45 kilo litres to 135 kilo litres per day", he said.
The director of the Purti Green Technologies which manufactures e-rickshaws is Gadkari's brother-in-law Rajesh Totade, Singh claimed.
Besides, the Congress leader recalled that he had raised the issue of giving Rs 10,000 crore contract for the Jojhila pass tunnel in J and K on a single bid. "When I raised the issue on your intervention, the contract was cancelled".
Singh wanted the Prime Minister to take cognizance of all these matters and "take action" against Gadkari.
