Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday visited a petrol pump and service station in Delhi to interact with ordinary vehicle owners over the impact of E20-blended petrol, asserting that the government’s claims about the fuel do not reflect the experiences of consumers. He spoke to owners who had come to refuel and to others who had brought their vehicles for repairs to understand the effects of E20 petrol on their vehicles.
Citing these interactions, the AAP Chief revealed that people consistently reported reduced mileage and mechanical problems after using E20 petrol. He pointed out that the government’s assertions on E20 were “blatant lies” and said ordinary people were facing difficulties because of ethanol blended fuel.
After his visit, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal took to ‘X’ and voiced problems faced by ordinary people from the ground, stating, “Today, I went to a petrol pump and a service station in Delhi to understand the ground reality. The government is telling blatant lies. E20 petrol is genuinely causing problems in vehicles. Ordinary people are deeply distressed because of ethanol. Almost everyone I spoke to said their vehicles’ mileage has dropped, and many have complained about mechanical issues.”
