Kejriwal's March Against E20 Petrol Policy Stopped by Delhi Police, Protest Ensues
Arvind Kejriwal led a march with around 100 people to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence to submit over 2.3 lakh petitions opposing the government's E20 ethanol-blended petrol policy. Delhi Police stopped the march citing lack of permission, leading to a sit-in protest. Kejriwal alleged the policy harms vehicles and is pushed under US pressure, while BJP leaders defended the policy as beneficial. The AAP vowed to continue opposing E20 and urged public support, highlighting ongoing political tensions over the fuel policy.
