Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday announced a march to the Prime Minister's residence on August 4, demanding that the government provide consumers with the option of choosing between pure petrol and E20-blended fuel at petrol pumps.

Addressing a town hall-style meeting on E20 fuel at the Constitution Club of India here, Kejriwal said he would collect petitions at noon on Monday and lead a march to Narendra Modi's residence on Lok Kalyan Marg with around 100 people.

Kejriwal demanded that consumers be allowed to choose between E20 and regular petrol at fuel stations, and demanded lower prices for E20 mixed petrol, and a cut in petrol prices.

The former Delhi chief minister also urged the government to make public the report that it cited to claim that E20 does not damage vehicles.

"The Centre says studies have been conducted and E20 does not harm vehicles. I want them to share that report," he said.

People from across states attended the event and shared their experiences and concerns over the use of E20 and the issues they claimed to be facing with their vehicles.
