Poonawalla vs Poonawalla: Shehzad takes on brother Tehseen over sugar scam claims, jibes at ‘jannayak’ Rahul Gandhi

The Poonawalla brothers, Shehzad and Tehseen, have engaged in a public dispute over Tehseen's comments regarding a 'sugar scam' and ethanol-blended petrol affecting citizens. Tehseen criticized the situation, accusing politicians' children of becoming wealthy while citizens face higher sugar prices and vehicle damage from ethanol. Shehzad responded by mocking Tehseen and criticizing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, suggesting he is unfit for leadership roles. Meanwhile, sugar prices in India have risen significantly, prompting the government to consider allowing sugar imports to address supply issues during the festive season. The government attributes the price increase to reduced domestic production, increased demand, and weather impacts rather than ethanol usage. Congress criticizes the government's policies, arguing that inflation has severely affected everyday consumers.
