¶ 01 We will say it—do not be afraid. Understood? We cannot reduce payments to farmers or to workers. Then ethanol must be increased. Raising the ethanol price per litre from Rs. 475 to Rs. 800 will not create problems for anyone. Arrack prices need not go up. Please support us, Hon. Chamara Sampath.
