Kejriwal stated the town hall would press the government to withdraw the E20 petrol policy, which mandates 20% ethanol blending in fuel. The AAP’s online petition, launched earlier this month, has garnered nearly 2 lakh signatures, according to Kejriwal. He added that he would personally submit the petition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence. The policy has faced criticism from opposition parties and some industry stakeholders over its feasibility and economic impact.
