New Delhi, July 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
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.”
He revealed, “For the past few days, I have been observing that anyone in the country who opposes E20-blended petrol is being abused by ministers in this government. They are being called anti nationals, traitors, agents of the petrol lobby, unemployed social activists, and several other names. I want to tell Prime Minister Narendra Modi that such arrogance is not appropriate.”
The AAP Supremo asserted, “All those who are raising concerns about E20 petrol are distressed by its impact. They are our fellow citizens. They are not traitors. They are patriots. It is wrong to abuse them in this manner. I want to tell Prime Minister Narendra Modi that they should not be insulted like this. We live in a democracy. Listen to what they have to say. It is the government’s duty to hear their grievances and address them.”
