AAP's agitation against E20 fuel to continue, people must join protest: Arvind Kejriwal
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal has vowed to continue protests against the government's E20 fuel policy, claiming it harms Indian farmers and favors U.S. interests. He urged citizens to join the movement and stated that AAP legislators will oppose the policy in Goa and Gujarat.
Why it matters
The protest highlights growing political friction over energy policy and international trade relations between India and the United States.
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday (August 4, 2026) said his party’s campaign against E20 fuel would continue and urged people to join the protest in large numbers if they wanted to stop its implementation.
Addressing a press conference after leading a march towards the Prime Minister’s residence with petitions opposing E20 fuel, Mr. Kejriwal said the party would also oppose any move to implement the policy in States where it has legislators.
“We have MLAs in Goa and Gujarat and we will not allow E20 to be passed there either. Our legislators will oppose it in the Assemblies,” he said.
Mr. Kejriwal said only around 100 people had accompanied the march on Tuesday (August 4, 2026), but they had shown courage by participating despite facing criticism and trolling on social media.
