Center-Left Owned by Siasat DailyE20 turned into 420, it is now petrol chori: Rahul slams Centre
What's behind this
Rahul Gandhi on Saturday, November 7, criticised the Modi government’s rollout of E20 petrol, saying the fuel had become “420” and accusing it of “petrol chori” after Karnataka government tests showed ethanol levels above the mandated 20 percent in most samples – more than 20 percent in 11 of 14 samples and claims of 26‑31 percent in some cases. He urged the Centre to disclose the actual ethanol content in fuel sold nationwide. State‑run oil companies rejected Karnataka’s figures, insisting that the E20 fuel supplied across the state meets prescribed standards.
