Congress workers detained while protesting E20 fuel outside Gadkari's residence: Watch
Police detained Congress workers protesting the Centre's ethanol-blended fuel policy outside Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's residence in Nagpur.
Youth Congress leader Mehul Adwani condemned E20 fuel, saying 'We condemn E20 being imposed on us. We will continue to fight.'
The protest march started at Chitnavis Park Square in Mahal and proceeded towards Gadkari's private residence, with police barricades erected.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh cited consumer and mechanic reports of reduced mileage, engine issues, and accelerated wear in pre-2023 vehicles due to E20 fuel.
AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal plans to lead a march to PM Narendra Modi's residence on Tuesday to oppose E20 fuel, alleging pressure from US President Donald Trump.
