Online campaign targets ethanol policy after minister's resignation
in5points
‘E20 Janta Party’ is a satirical social media outfit targeting Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari's E20 ethanol-blended petrol initiative.
The E20 Janta Party X account gained over 48,000 followers and demands consumer choice to buy fuel they want, not withdrawal of E20 fuel.
E20 fuel is a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol, criticized for risks to older vehicles, lower efficiency, and high water usage.
The movement follows the ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ (CJP) which forced education minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign over exam irregularities.
