BJP MP Janardan Mishra Makes Remarks Described as Intemperate in Favor of Ethanol, Says 'Will Pure Petrol Come From Your Father's House?'

BJP MP from Rewa Janardan Mishra made remarks in favor of ethanol that were described as intemperate, including the question, 'Will pure petrol come from your father's house?' according to a single report from Aaj Tak published Aug. 9, 2026. The report is still developing and has not been independently confirmed beyond that filing.^[2]

The filing presents the comment as part of a defense of ethanol and characterizes the language as having crossed into controversial territory, labeling it as intemperate speech.^[2]

Rhetorical Question Used in Ethanol Defense

According to the same Aaj Tak account, Mishra invoked family-linked phrasing to challenge demands for pure petrol while arguing for ethanol. The headline version of the quote is rendered as a direct question about whether pure petrol would be sourced from the listener's own family.^[2]

Second Filing Addresses Separate Issue

A separate filing supplied in the same set concerns Shiromani Akali Dal's stated support for the Women's Reservation Bill, a demand it directed at the central government, and remarks attributed to Gulzar about a possible alliance with the BJP. That material makes no reference to Mishra, ethanol, or the petrol question, and the two filings do not intersect on facts, persons, or events.^[1][2]
