Arvind Kejriwal to Deliver 200,000 E20 Petitions at National Town Hall in Delhi
Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced a “National Town Hall Against E‑20” to be held on 1 August at the Constitution Club of India in Delhi. The event is intended to press the central government to reconsider the introduction of E‑20 petrol.
Kejriwal said the party’s online petition against E‑20 has collected nearly two lakh (over 200,000) signatures and that he will take the petitions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence the following week. The town hall will be open to in‑person attendees from Delhi‑NCR and to participants across the country who can join online after registering via the phone number 8588833212.
In the same briefing, Kejriwal linked Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation to sustained pressure from youth, criticized police action against student protests in Bihar and other states, and denied allegations of paper‑leak incidents in Delhi and Punjab under AAP rule.
