E20 Janta Party Demands Choice of 100% Petrol
The E20 Janta Party is a group of people who want the government to let them choose between 100% petrol and the new E20 fuel blend.
The government says E20 is better for the environment and helps farmers, but the E20 Janta Party says it makes cars less efficient and more expensive to maintain.
They want the freedom to choose what fuel they use, just like they can choose other products.
They are using social media to spread their message and get support, similar to another group called the Cockroach Janta Party.
