AAP to Hold National Town Hall on E20 Fuel Concerns in Delhi on August 1
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal announced a 'National Town Hall Against E20' on August 1 at Delhi's Constitution Club to discuss concerns over ethanol-blended petrol. The event invites experts, vehicle owners, and the public to address vehicle damage and reduced mileage linked to E20 fuel. Kejriwal highlighted an online petition with nearly two lakh signatures urging the government to make E20 optional and plans to submit it to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The campaign follows the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amid youth protests, with Kejriwal calling for timely government action to prevent wider unrest.
