Davangere: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the gathering at the ‘Vikas Parv’ rally at Davangere on Sunday and said that he will never let the country walk on the wrong path.

He said that he wants to thanks people and take their blessings for co-operating in the development process of the country.

He expressed his government’s resolve to raise the limit of Ethanol mix in petrol and diesel from the current 5%.

“It will end the heavy dependence of farmers on sugar factories, growers can get their dues in time while factories can up their profits by increasing Ethanol production,” he added.
