Center Owned by Express Publications (Madurai) Ltd.'E20 turned into 420 – stealing petrol from the public's cars': Rahul Gandhi targets Centre over ethanol blending
What's behind this
The centre rejected Karnataka’s claim that some retail outlets had ethanol blending above the 20 percent limit, saying all 56 samples tested in the state under a nationwide quality monitoring exercise complied, and questioned the state’s sampling and testing methodology.

Rahul Gandhi has linked the issue to an alleged “Petrol Chori.”
