Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Aam Aadmi Party founder Arvind Kejriwal announced that he will go to the Prime Minister's residence with 100 people on Tuesday, August 4, to submit public-signed petitions opposing the E20 ethanol-blended petrol mandate.
- At a press conference, he alleged the mandate is being imposed under pressure from US President Donald Trump so that India will buy ethanol from America, a claim attributed to public allegations against Prime Minister Modi.
- Kejriwal said E20 is causing several problems for people's vehicles, that his earlier request to the Prime Minister's Office for time to discuss E20 has received no response, and that over two lakh people have signed his campaign's petition.
- The campaign also seeks a government choice between pure petrol and E20 at fuel stations and a reduction in the prices of both.
