Kejriwal to March to PM Modi's Residence over E20 Petrol, Alleges Centre 'Yielded' to Trump
AAP says more than 2 lakh people signed its petition as Kejriwal plans to personally hand it to the prime minister and press for cheaper fuel options.
- On Monday, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced plans to march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on Tuesday with 100 people to submit petitions opposing the Centre's E20 fuel policy.
- Kejriwal alleged India has "yielded" to President Donald Trump by purchasing ethanol from the United States, claiming the government's persistent push for E20 fuel suggests a "hidden agenda" despite public concerns.
- Following a "huge success" at the "Ethanol Townhall" last week, Kejriwal noted over 2,00,000 people signed his online petition demanding E20 be cheaper than pure petrol and priced below 84 rupees/litre.
- This march marks a significant escalation in the AAP campaign, as Kejriwal further urged citizens to halt vehicle purchases until the country begins manufacturing models compatible with E100 fuel.
- Data indicates E20 petrol can reduce fuel economy by 2-6%, yet the Centre has ignored Kejriwal's previous requests for an appointment to discuss these concerns and propose alternatives.
