Kejriwal Campaigns for Fuel Choice, Announces August 4 March Against E20 Policy
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal has launched a campaign opposing the Centre's E20 ethanol-blended petrol policy, demanding consumer choice between pure petrol and E20 at fuel pumps, lower prices for E20, and a reduction in petrol rates. He announced a march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on August 4 to submit petitions signed by over two lakh citizens. Kejriwal questioned the government's claims that E20 does not harm vehicles and called for the release of related study reports. Supporters shared concerns about vehicle damage and reduced mileage linked to E20 usage.
