NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal led a protest march towards the Prime Minister’s residence against the implementation of the E20 petrol policy in Delhi on Tuesday.
Addressing the demonstration, Kejriwal declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not succumb to pressure from US President Donald Trump and demanded an immediate halt to ethanol imports from the United States.
He further urged PM Modi to stop the forcible imposition of E20 fuel on the country.
“I want to say that PM Modi should not come under pressure from US President Trump. He should stop buying ethanol from the USA and stop imposing E20 on our country. I hope that the Prime Minister will call us. We have sent a message to the Prime Minister saying that we want to meet him. The struggle will continue…” said Kejriwal.
AAP leader Anurag Dhanda claimed that the policy has caused severe distress among vehicle owners, warning that nearly 30 crore vehicles face the risk of damage due to ethanol-blended fuel.
