Arvind Kejriwal to March PM Modi's Residence Over E20 Fuel Policy Concerns
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 fuel policy. Kejriwal alleges the policy is flawed and claims the government is promoting ethanol-blended petrol under pressure from former US President Donald Trump. He demands options for pure petrol alongside E20, lower E20 prices, and a meeting with the prime minister. The Centre has not responded to his earlier letter seeking dialogue.
