Arvind Kejriwal instructed AAP workers to visit petrol pumps nationwide, record videos of public grievances, and share them across social media platforms. This initiative aims to amplify citizen voices and hold authorities accountable for E20 fuel-related issues. Workers must ensure proper documentation, highlighting both mileage reduction and rising maintenance complaints while communicating directly with customers.
Letter to Prime Minister and Key Demands
Kejriwal wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing that citizens face reduced mileage and engine wear due to E20 fuel. He urged the government to allow customers to choose between pure petrol, E10, and E20 and to reduce E20 pricing. Furthermore, he requested immediate attention to public complaints regarding fuel inefficiency and engine damage.
Rising Public Concern Over E20 Fuel
Vehicle owners reported significant drop in mileage, engine strain, and injector issues after using E20. Citizens claim that fuel quality has affected daily commuting costs. Kejriwal highlighted that the government’s push for E20 without alternatives impacts common and middle-class citizens financially. Volunteers are collecting firsthand accounts, measuring fuel efficiency decline, and assessing public dissatisfaction to present a comprehensive record.
Stop E20 Petition Campaign
Kejriwal launched the “Stop E20 Petrol” online petition at StopE20petrol.com. Citizens can sign to demand fuel choice, price correction, and government accountability. This campaign allows the public to communicate grievances directly, and the team aims to compile evidence supporting policy amendments. The initiative stresses transparency and encourages democratic participation in monitoring fuel regulations.
Direct Citizen Engagement and Documentation
Recently, Kejriwal personally visited service stations and petrol pumps to interact with vehicle owners. Volunteers recorded complaints regarding reduced mileage, engine malfunction, and higher maintenance costs. The field campaign ensures accurate documentation of public feedback, supporting demands for alternative fuel options and proper government response.
Financial Impact of E20 on Citizens
Due to reduced energy content, E20 decreases mileage while costing the same or more than regular petrol. Kejriwal highlighted that this policy creates financial strain for the general public, raising concerns about long-term affordability and vehicle upkeep. The AAP asserts that citizens deserve fair fuel choice and appropriate pricing aligned with performance.
Demand for Transparency, Accountability, and Action
Kejriwal urged government authorities to respect citizens’ feedback, provide fuel options at all pumps, and address concerns transparently. He emphasized that accountability is essential in maintaining public trust, ensuring that energy policies do not inadvertently burden ordinary citizens.
Impact on Social Media and Awareness
Videos recorded by AAP workers are shared online to raise awareness about E20-related grievances. Citizens can observe evidence of reduced mileage and increased vehicle maintenance costs, while volunteers highlight issues systematically to pressure authorities into reconsidering E20 enforcement.
