Following the success of the CJP, a newly formed “E20 Janta Party” launches a campaign opposing the ethanol-blended E20 petrol push. The group calls for consumers to be able to choose between E20 and 100% petrol, and it demands more transparency on ethanol blending. Across reports, the party argues that fuel labelling should be clear and that data related to the E20 initiative should be published so people can make informed decisions.
The campaign is directed at Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, with multiple outlets reporting that the group seeks his resignation. The movement also draws support from transporters, who plan to join or organize a march toward Parliament to protest against E20 petrol. The party says it is not seeking subsidies, focusing instead on consumer rights and availability of alternative fuel options.
Media coverage notes that the campaign gains momentum through social media, with supporters calling for public disclosure and policy changes that allow choice between fuel types.
