E20 Petrol News: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal reached the Prime Minister’s residence in Delhi with a delegation of vehicle owners and around 2.30 lakh petitions concerning the E20 petrol issue, according to AAP Gujarat organisational secretary Manoj Sorathiya.
Manoj Sorathiya said the delegation included around 100 vehicle owners who, according to the party, have experienced problems or losses that they attribute to E20 petrol. The group sought to raise concerns over ethanol-blended fuel and demanded answers from the government.
Kejriwal Carries Petitions Over E20 Petrol
According to Manoj Sorathiya, Kejriwal went to the Prime Minister’s residence along with vehicle owners and the petitions collected during AAP’s campaign against E20 petrol.
Sorathiya said police prevented Kejriwal from meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, he claimed that the petitions were subsequently sent to the Prime Minister.
The AAP leader said the party wants the government to address concerns raised by vehicle owners regarding the use of higher ethanol-blended fuel.
AAP Claims Vehicle Owners Are Facing Higher Costs
Sorathiya claimed that a large number of vehicles manufactured before 2023 may not have been designed for E20 petrol. He further claimed that vehicle owners, particularly two-wheeler users, are experiencing reduced mileage and higher maintenance expenses.
According to his statement, rising fuel prices combined with lower mileage and increased maintenance costs have added to the financial burden on vehicle owners.
These claims were made by the AAP leader and have not been independently verified based on the information provided.
Manoj Sorathiya Demands End to E20 Petrol Policy
Manoj Sorathiya said Arvind Kejriwal and people associated with the petition campaign are seeking a government response on E20 petrol.
He argued that consumers should not be forced to bear additional costs because of the fuel-blending policy. The AAP leader also called for the government to reconsider the policy and said demands against E20 petrol are growing across the country.
Manoj Sorathiya said AAP would continue raising the issue and attempt to mobilise public support around it.
AAP Makes Claims About Ethanol Imports
Sorathiya also levelled allegations against the central government regarding ethanol imports. He claimed that cheaper ethanol was being imported from the United States and then sold in India.
He further alleged that the E20 policy could benefit certain companies as well as US farmers and the US government.
These are political allegations made by the AAP leader. No supporting evidence or independent verification for these specific claims was included in the source material provided.
Congress Also Targeted Over E20 Issue
The AAP Gujarat leader also criticised the Congress, alleging that some Congress leaders have links to ethanol companies and therefore the party is not opposing the E20 policy strongly enough.
Sorathiya claimed that both the BJP and Congress have political interests connected to the ethanol sector. However, these allegations were not independently substantiated in the information provided.
Manoj Sorathiya said AAP would continue demanding greater transparency from the government on the issue.

AAP Plans E20 Campaign in Gujarat
The E20 petrol debate is also expected to become a political issue in Gujarat. Sorathiya announced that the Aam Aadmi Party would take the matter to the streets in the state.
He said the party plans to bring together vehicle owners and members of the public to raise concerns about ethanol-blended petrol.
According to Sorathiya, the objective is to create greater public awareness and press the government to respond to concerns surrounding E20 fuel.
E20 Petrol Debate Gains Political Momentum
The latest campaign adds another chapter to the ongoing political debate over ethanol blending in petrol. AAP is using vehicle compatibility, mileage, maintenance expenses and consumer concerns as key points in its opposition to E20 petrol.
The party says it will continue its campaign until the government responds to the concerns raised through the petition drive.
For now, the claims regarding vehicle damage, ethanol imports, corporate benefits and the impact of E20 petrol remain allegations made by AAP leaders. The government and other political parties’ responses to these specific claims were not included in the source material.
