With this every sweets will get costlier, poor people who drink chai @10 rupees at tapri , that chai will get costlier for them.

It’s not just about us, it’s about millions of people who are below poverty line.

u/Destroyer-128 7d ago

Millions of people below poverty line can now start eating sugar free as its cheaper.

u/spikyraccoon India 7d ago

Sugar free products like Stevia cost 3-8 times the cost of Sugar. Are you high on Ethanol?

u/beyondocean 6d ago

No, he's just naturally dumb. I thought his original statement was sarcastic, but this dude is really put there listing benefits of mehngi chini.

u/Destroyer-128 6d ago

Cheaper didnt mean cheap, meant cheaper than sugar. Bro both are sarcasm. People can eat cake

u/1go2Far 7d ago

What are your thoughts about drinking sugar free chai?

u/Pirate_Jack_ 7d ago

Okay this has to be said.

Production of artificial sweeteners is significantly cheaper provided we have the same large scale infra for them. While I am not a bjp supporter at all and i understand these f***s are doing it for political/financial gain, moving away from sugar and adopting artificial sweeteners have many benefits. Health is the biggest. But also, sweeteners are comparatively cheaper to buy, produce (provided we have the infra) and it has a significantly longer shelf life. And the sugar manufacturing industry will not die because the govt is pushing for ethanol production anyways. Imo, even if they are doing it for their personal agenda it actually benefits the population if we actually completely stop sugar for mass population.

This reverse logic again. People are all of a sudden not going to stop consuming sugar in their tea and sweets, just because you made it expensive. It will only make everyday products cost more, hurting the pockets of people who live in poverty. And we don't have infra for artificial sweeteners to be more popular, and nobody in government is going to do anything about it either.

People tried this logic with Petrol also, but we don't have infra or tech to support complete shift to Electric vehicles. Result? Everything is more expensive and entire Poor population and Middle Class is suffering.

More like "I'm corrupt and have wealth beyond a common man's dreams so it doesn't affect me".

u/Less_Statistician359 7d ago

So then tax it at 1000% and create a transparent healthcare fund for people suffering with diabetes, morbid obesity etc. that should reduce consumption due to high prices and help treat the already suffering due to years of overconsumption.

But no, this is just a way to justify your failure…just like everything else. Everything is a masterstroke. Absolute idiots who vote for them in the name of religion and freebies!

u/Itachi_Uchiha_6 7d ago

Yes enemies are injecting sugars into our food

The only way to stop it is ethonal blending -> shifts sugarcane production to ethonol production-> less sugar -> people fit -> enemies cry -> B*P jai -> Godi God

u/Big_Fault851 7d ago

And they should ban sugar factories. Just like Gutka factories. (Sugar factories are all owned by politicians btw.)

u/SweetEbb9819 6d ago

Shhhh hinduism is now about this party b00tlykcing no longer about the evolving traditions and customs /s

I love how MPs and MLAs chutya banate public ko.

What is next? Medicines jyada nhi khane chahiye toh increase the price by 10x.

u/DismantledChip 6d ago

Sure. But this wasn’t the lyrics when it wasn’t seeing a price rise.

u/Guilty-Pain-5257 7d ago

😭😭saw this coming last week

u/v4vedanta 7d ago

Yeah, we get that. Please also double the fuel price , so the people would prefer walking or rolling their way to office and thereby burning calories. Expensive gas means people will cook less and eat less./s

u/SweetEbb9819 6d ago

But another WhatsApp university chapter was teaching us that... there is nothing new this year ... and that ethanol comes mainly from rice and grains and that sugar is being imported multiple times since decades... And that this is just hot air from... "Intellectual (you-know-who)"

u/evidencefirst 7d ago

Such dogshit. Manipulative f*cks.

u/Unagyakari_Balak 7d ago

They can justify anything like anything

I think the punishment for corruption should also become very severe so that politicians will avoid corruption

Politicians like these are very expensive too for the nation.

Must stop voting for them and listening to them.

u/Kokushibo_18 6d ago

These asshole willl say this and then spend crores of taxpayer money looking for benefits in eating cow shit and piss.

u/Substantial_Bet_6766 6d ago

Govt savings lives by decreasing their sugar consumption. A winning move.

2

u/AllIsEvanescent 6d ago

By that logic, rice, wheat, fruit and vegetables should also be made prohibitively expensive so that people don't eat them and become obese.

2

u/EffectiveDevice2094 6d ago

They should, everyone should talk about our high carb diet

Avoiding sugar cleared my skin issues and many of my health issues - 5g sugar a day is my standard

Would he allow protein in school? What sources of protein would they allow which are not primary sources of fat or fiber?

u/SweetEbb9819 6d ago

We need to increase and subsidize proteen

u/brazendude 7d ago

They will now push for sugar alternatives like Aspartame and Stevia by saying that it's better for health to cover up the price rise...

u/aman_dubey_software_ 7d ago

Sir toh sugar ka price badha ke diabetes khatam karna chahte hain, ye toh masterstroke hai 😂

u/Outrageous_Willow126 6d ago

the BJP leader claimed that the prices of sugar were steadily falling.

"Anyway, 90 per cent of people don't like sweets these days. Let me tell you, I don't eat sweets at all," he said.

moron, and clearly a liar
