AAP Goa Campaigns Against E20 Fuel Rollout
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Goa has started a campaign against the introduction of E20 fuel, which is petrol mixed with 20% ethanol.
They say this fuel makes cars go less far on a tank and can damage engines.
The party has been talking to people at petrol pumps and found that many are not happy with the new fuel.
They also say that the government has not given people a choice or helped solve the problems caused by E20 fuel.
The AAP has asked people to join a town hall meeting in New Delhi to discuss this issue.
AAP Goa launched a campaign against the rollout of E20 fuel, alleging it reduces mileage and damages engines.
The party conducted a survey at petrol pumps, finding many consumers unaware of E20 petrol's introduction.
AAP leaders claim mechanics have reported increased complaints related to carburettors and engine performance.
The party has written to automobile manufacturers seeking assurances that E20 fuel will not damage vehicles.
AAP Goa president Valmiki Naik urged Goans to join an online town hall called by Arvind Kejriwal to oppose the E20 fuel rollout.
