Kejriwal Challenges Government Over E20 Ethanol Fuel Rollout

In a video statement posted to X, the AAP convenor pointed to a June 30 submission made to the Supreme Court, where officials reportedly characterized the E20 transition as an ongoing experiment. Kejriwal argued that such a sweeping policy change lacks the necessary evidence of safety and efficiency, placing an unfair economic burden on citizens who now face accelerated wear on their engines.

Kejriwal intends to formalize these grievances in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and has invited public input to bolster his case. This pushback aligns with broader political skepticism surrounding the policy, notably from Karnataka’s Home Minister Priyank Kharge. Kharge recently condemned the rollout for its perceived lack of public consultation, deepening the controversy over how the government manages the transition to blended fuels.
