A new pressure group, calling itself the E20 Janta Party, has launched an online campaign demanding that consumers be given the option to buy 100% petrol alongside ethanol-blended fuel, Times of India reported, while also calling for the resignation of Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari over the government's ethanol-blending policy.
The campaign, inspired by the Cockroach Janta Party's online movement over the NEET paper leak that culminated in the resignation of then education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, quickly gathered traction on social media, amassing more than 25,000 followers on X within hours of its launch on Sunday.
