Rahul Gandhi has raised serious concerns regarding the implementation of the E20 petrol policy, questioning its overall impact on consumer vehicles. In a video released online, he asserted that petrol containing a 20 percent ethanol blend is causing mechanical damage to personal transport, including cars and scooters.
Vehicle Inspection and Policy Criticism
In the video shared on X, Rahul Gandhi demonstrated his point by opening the fuel tank of a vehicle. He stated that the issues surrounding ethanol blending are not minor operational glitches but represent broader structural defects within the policy framework. According to his statements, automobile owners are facing unexpected vehicle maintenance challenges as a result of using this fuel mixture.
Plans for a Nationwide Campaign
Addressing the consequences of E20 fuel adoption, Rahul Gandhi emphasized that the discussion needs to extend beyond online platforms. He announced plans to launch a dedicated public campaign in the near future to raise awareness among vehicle owners and address concerns regarding current ethanol blending norms.
Public Reaction
The publication of the video sparked widespread discussion across digital platforms. While a segment of users voiced concerns over vehicle longevity and engine compatibility with E20 fuel, others disputed the claims and defended the implementation of ethanol blended petrol.
