Arvind Kejriwal Plans March to PM Modi's Residence Over E20 Petrol Policy
AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced a march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on August 4 to submit a petition signed by over 2.3 lakh people opposing the Centre's E20 ethanol-blended petrol policy. Kejriwal alleges the policy is flawed, claiming it harms vehicles and is pushed under pressure from former US President Donald Trump. He demands options for pure petrol, lower E20 prices, and a meeting with Modi. Delhi Police denied permission for the march, citing security concerns.
