Fuel conservation is a necessity, and I have to be the first person to set the example.

Those who know me would tell you, 'Moily can't be cowed down.' I have plans to enhance domestic oil and gas production.

If I can save 25 billion dollars in terms of reduction of import, I will be adding one percent to the GDP. By conserving the oil energy by the people, the GDP will become 5.5 percent, and this will change the economy of the country.

Saving petrol is saving India's money. This is a sense of patriotism. The country can be energy-independent by energy conservation. I appeal to the other ministers also to do this.

I have written to Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, asking him to consider 'staggered office timings' for government offices, which will help in decongesting road traffic during peak hours.

If all of us work in accordance with rule of law, if rule of law is implemented, we are all safe, investors are safe, people will be safe.

The consumption of petroleum should be conserved. We need to adopt some austerity measures. The people should cooperate with us.
