Five demands of the E20 Janata Party

Freedom of Fuel Choice — the E0 option

Make 100% pure, unblended petrol (E0) available at all standard fuel pumps at a standard price. Currently, pure petrol is often sold only as hyper-expensive premium 100-octane fuels (such as Indian Oil’s XP100), which ordinary citizens cannot treat as a daily option. Fuel freedom means a normal nozzle for normal budgets — not a luxury SKU pretending to be choice.

For SEO clarity: E20 Janata Party E0 demand = standard-priced unblended petrol nationwide.

Make E10 available for legacy vehicles

Provide E10 fuel for the vast majority of legacy vehicles currently on Indian roads to prevent engine damage. Nearly 80% of petrol vehicles were designed around E5/E10 expectations. Removing transitional blends while mandating E20 is how a climate policy becomes a consumer rights crisis.

The E20 Janta Party treats E10 availability as a bridge of justice for owners who bought cars and bikes in good faith under previous norms.

Resignation of Nitin Gadkari

Demand the immediate resignation or sacking of Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari. Protesters accuse him of aggressively rushing the E20 rollout without safeguarding existing vehicle owners, then dismissing complaints as a “false narrative” or “paid campaign.” Political power that socializes risk onto citizens must face political consequence.

Price reductions and fair subsidies

Drop pure petrol (E0) prices to roughly ₹90/litre, and reduce E20 fuel to roughly ₹78/litre, ensuring subsidies serve citizens rather than flowing primarily to ethanol distilleries. If biofuel policy creates national savings, those savings should appear at the pump — not only in speeches.

Transparency and accountability

Clearly label the exact ethanol percentage at every fuel dispenser. Publish all official testing documents and data regarding long-term vehicular wear-and-tear. Without labels and data, “trust the science” becomes “trust the press release.” The E20 Janata Party demands receipts.
