Kejriwal to march to PM residence over E20 petrol
Arvind Kejriwal is the leader of a political party in India.
He says the government wants people to use a new kind of petrol that mixes in a lot of alcohol.
He thinks the government is doing this because the United States wants it.
He wants to go to the Prime Minister's house with 100 friends to hand over a paper that many people signed.
The paper says they are unhappy with the new petrol.
He also says the government hasn't answered a letter he sent.
He says many people have problems with their cars because of the new petrol.
He says the new petrol is a hidden plan.
He wants the Prime Minister to listen to them.
AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence with 100 supporters to submit petitions against E20 ethanol‑blended petrol.
Kejriwal claims the government is pushing E20 under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump and that India has "yielded" to Trump to buy ethanol.
He says the government has not responded to a letter requesting a meeting to discuss E20 concerns and to explore options for pure petrol and E20.
More than 200,000 people have signed a petition against E20 fuel and the "Ethanol Townhall" organized by AAP was a success.
The march aims to personally hand over the petitions and discuss vehicle problems caused by E20.
