AAP to organise 'National Town Hall Against E20' in Delhi on Aug 1
Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party has announced a 'National Town Hall' to protest the government's E20 ethanol-blended petrol policy. The party aims to pressure the central government to make the fuel optional and lower its price.
Why it matters
The initiative reflects growing public and political concern over the economic and mechanical impact of new fuel standards on vehicle owners.
AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Monday (July 27, 2026) announced that the party will organise a 'National Town Hall Against E20' in New Delhi on August 1, 2026 to bring all stakeholders onto a single platform.
Addressing a press conference here, Mr. Kejriwal appealed to the public to participate in large numbers in the meeting that will be held at the Constitution Club of India.
"We are inviting people to join this platform in large numbers, where we will discuss how to create pressure on the central government to withdraw the E20 petrol. Experts and people who have faced problems with their vehicles are all invited," he said.
The AAP had earlier launched an online petition to make the E20 fuel optional, which has been signed by almost 2 lakh people, the former Chief Minister said.
