New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a meeting to discuss the ongoing E20 petrol controversy and concerns raised by consumers regarding ethanol-blended fuel.
In his letter, Kejriwal said he wants to explain the technical issues linked to E20 petrol and share public feedback collected during his interactions with citizens. He urged the Centre to address concerns related to fuel options, pricing, and mileage.
Kejriwal Seeks Choice Between Pure Petrol and E20 Fuel
Kejriwal said petrol stations should provide consumers with the option to choose between regular petrol and E20 petrol. He stated that people who want pure petrol should have access to it, while those preferring ethanol-blended fuel should also be given that choice.
The AAP chief said the government should consider consumer preferences while implementing fuel policies.
AAP Raises Mileage and Pricing Concerns
The E20 petrol controversy has gained attention after Kejriwal raised concerns about the impact of ethanol-blended fuel on vehicle mileage and consumer expenses.
He demanded a reduction in the price of E20 petrol, arguing that lower mileage compared to regular petrol should be taken into account while deciding fuel rates.
