What kind of self-reliant India is this?: Kharge on sugar price hike

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday criticised the government over rising sugar prices and low sugar stocks. "What kind of self-reliant India is this?...First, sugar production declined...then stocks reached their lowest level in nine years," he said. "We're importing sugar from abroad...and on the other hand, we're throwing sugarcane into Ethanol to blend with petrol!" he added.
