E20 Janta Party Campaign Demands Fuel Choice and Gadkari's Resignation Amid Protests
Following the Cockroach Janta Party's success in prompting Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, the E20 Janta Party has emerged as a digital movement opposing the mandatory ethanol-blended petrol (E20) policy. The group demands consumer choice to buy 100% petrol alongside E20 fuel, transparent labeling, and independent studies on fuel impacts. Supported by transport associations planning a protest march to Parliament on August 4, the campaign also calls for Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari's resignation. The government maintains E20 fuel is safe, denying widespread issues.
