Speaking to reporters, the former Delhi chief minister alleged that the government forcibly imposed the E20 policy without upgrading infrastructure or ensuring that existing vehicles were compatible with the higher ethanol blend. To create demand for American ethanol, India is being forced to implement E20 and import the substance from the US,” he claimed. Until the government clearly spells out its long-term policy, people should not invest in petrol or diesel vehicles,” he said. He said that the AAP had organised a nationwide online town hall against the E20 policy and launched an online petition. Linking the issue to the 2027 Goa assembly elections, Kejriwal appealed to voters to defeat the BJP, claiming that an electoral setback would force the Centre to withdraw the E20 policy.
