CJP’s win fuels call by ‘E20 Janta Party’ for no-ethanol option
New outfit 'E20 Janta Party' demands consumers be given the option of buying 100% petrol, and seeks resignation of road transport minister Nitin Gadkari.
The group gained over 25,000 followers on X within hours, inspired by Cockroach Janta Party's successful campaign leading to Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET paper leak.
Delhi Taxi and Tourist Transporters and Tour Operators Association announced a march to Parliament against E20 petrol on August 4, citing reduced fuel efficiency and increased costs.
The party demands transparent fuel labelling, publication of data on costs and impacts, and independent studies on mileage and engine performance.
India currently offers E20 as standard fuel at Rs 102.12 per litre in Delhi, while 100-octane premium petrol costs Rs 169 per litre and is available only at select stations.
