New 'E20 Janta Party' Demands Pure Petrol Option, Calls for Gadkari's Resignation

A newly formed group called the E20 Janta Party has emerged in India, pushing for consumers to have the option of purchasing 100% petrol alongside ethanol-blended E20 fuel. The party is demanding the resignation of Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari over the government's ethanol-blending policy. Transporters have backed the campaign and are planning a march to Parliament in protest against mandatory E20 petrol. The group is also calling for transparent fuel labelling and the public release of related data. Notably, the party is not seeking subsidies but is focused solely on consumer choice and access to clear information.
