E20 row: Arvind Kejriwal to march to PM's house on August 4 to give 2 lakh petitions; says ‘Modi bowed before Trump’
Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday that he will march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence at 12 PM on Tuesday to submit more than 2 lakh petitions against E20 fuel.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal plans to march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on August 4 at 12 PM with 100 individuals to deliver petitions opposing E20 fuel. Kejriwal mentioned that an online petition demanding action against E20 fuel gained over 233,238 signatures. He intends to personally present the petition to Modi after not receiving a response to a letter he sent last month, inquiring about an appointment to discuss concerns over E20 petrol.
Kejriwal asserted that the government's promotion of ethanol-blended petrol is influenced by US President Donald Trump, alleging that India will purchase $20 billion worth of ethanol from the US within the next five years. Kejriwal also criticized Modi for allegedly caving in to Trump's demands, fearing Trump's influence and harming vehicle owners. The AAP's recent Ethanol Townhall event received significant virtual participation.
