Youth Congress Protest Targets Gadkari Over E20 Fuel
In Nagpur, a group of young people from the Youth Congress protested because they think the new E20 fuel is bad for cars.
They tried to march to the house of the minister who says the fuel is safe, but the police stopped them.
Some of the protesters were taken into custody.
The Youth Congress says the minister’s comments about the fuel are not convincing and that many people have problems with their cars when they use E20 fuel.
Youth Congress workers staged a protest in Nagpur over E20 fuel.
Protesters attempted to march to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s residence but were stopped by police.
Several participants were detained by authorities.
Congress alleges Gadkari’s parliamentary remarks on E20 fuel raise more questions than answers.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh cited consumer and mechanic complaints about reduced mileage and engine issues with E20.
