Over 82,000 sign AAP's petition against mandatory E20 fuel

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj on Thursday urged people to support an online petition opposing the mandatory use of E20 petrol, alleging that the fuel leads to lower mileage and vehicle damage.Sharing the campaign on X, Bharadwaj appealed to motorists facing such issues to "raise your voice against forced usage of E20 petrol."The petition, addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had garnered more than 80,000 signatures at the time of Bharadwaj's post. The campaign claims there is widespread public opposition to the rollout of E20 petrol and accuses the government of ignoring concerns raised by consumers."Dear Prime Minister,There is a huge outcry against imposition of E20 petrol across the country. I am distressed to see that the government is not listening to us and is hell bent upon imposing it. There is neither any logic nor science nor engineering nor economics which justifies government's decisions.
