Kejriwal march against E20 petrol

India — Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal announced a march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on August 4 to submit a petition signed by over two lakh people against the mandatory rollout of E20 petrol (20% ethanol blend). At a 'National Town Hall Against E20' in New Delhi, Kejriwal demanded consumer choice between E20 and pure petrol, lower E20 pricing, and public disclosure of government studies supporting E20. The government defends the ethanol blending programme, citing energy security and no evidence of vehicle damage, while critics cite engine damage and reduced mileage. Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra dismissed the allegations, challenging Kejriwal to produce evidence of damaged vehicles.
