Arvind Kejriwal writes to PM Modi on E20 concerns, demands pure petrol option at pumps

Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to provide consumers the choice to choose between pure petrol and ethanol-blended fuel at petrol pumps.

The former Delhi chief minister also sought an appointment with Modi to discuss concerns about E20 petrol, or a fuel blend that consists of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol.

In his letter, Kejriwal said that there is no “logical, scientific, engineering or economic argument” that justifies the government's decision to “impose E20 petrol on vehicles”.
