· India · Indian Express, Hindustan Times
BJP state vice-president Sujay Vikhe-Patil has attributed the stalled construction of the Ahilyanagar-Manmad Road to global crude oil supply disruptions. He stated that attacks on Iran have impacted petroleum production, subsequently reducing the availability of bitumen required for road surfacing. Additionally, the former MP claimed that the shifting war tactics of US President Donald Trump have caused confusion, leading to increased alcohol consumption among certain individuals in India. Vikhe-Patil asserted that these global events are interconnected and directly affecting local infrastructure development in Ahilyanagar. The politician did not provide specific data or timelines to support the link between international oil markets and the local project's delay.
