Kejriwal Visits Delhi Petrol Pump, Service Station to Hear Consumers' E20 Fuel Concerns
Kejriwal said E20 petrol has cut mileage in nearly all vehicles and caused malfunctions after speaking with motorists and repair-shop customers.
- On Saturday, Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal visited a Delhi petrol pump and service station to assess E20-blended petrol, alleging the government's claims are "white lies" based on consumer complaints of reduced mileage and mechanical issues.
- Last week, the government issued a detailed rebuttal to misinformation about the E20 programme, rejecting engine damage claims; Kejriwal's visit sought to verify these reports directly with motorists.
- Motorists reported declining fuel efficiency and mechanical problems after switching to E20, Kejriwal stated, emphasizing that ordinary people feel distressed by the fuel's performance in their vehicles.
- Kejriwal objected to critics being called "anti-nationals" or "traitors," urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to listen to grievances rather than dismiss them, calling such rhetoric "not appropriate."
- There was no immediate response from the Centre or the Bharatiya Janata Party to Kejriwal's allegations, though he maintains the consumer feedback warrants broader discussion on the E20 rollout.
