Center-Right Owned by Living Media IndiaE20 has become 420: Rahul Gandhi claims excess ethanol in petrol, targets PM
What's behind this
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday criticised the Modi government’s rollout of E20 petrol, saying Karnataka‑government laboratory tests of samples from seven districts showed ethanol levels well above the prescribed limit, with some reports citing more than 20 % ethanol in 11 of 14 samples and others noting levels above 30 %. He alleged the excess blending harms vehicles, called the fuel “petrol chori” and urged the Centre to disclose the actual ethanol content in fuel sold nationwide. Oil companies have disputed the Karnataka findings.
