E20 became 420, theft of petrol from public cars: Rahul Gandhi

  Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday targeted the Modi government over the supply of E-20 petrol. Referring to the test results of the petrol samples collected by the Karnataka government, he demanded the central government to immediately clarify the situation regarding the actual amount of ethanol in the fuel being sold across the country. Sharing the post in Hindi on social media platform 'X', Gandhi wrote, "E-20 has become 420 - theft of petrol from public cars!" He was referring to Section 420 of the IPC dealing with cheating.


Rahul Gandhi alleged that the government claims to add 20 percent ethanol to petrol, but during the testing of samples taken from 7 districts of Karnataka, this amount was found to be much more than the prescribed limit. He said, "According to the tests conducted in a recognized laboratory, 11 out of 14 samples contained more than 20 percent ethanol. IOCL's sample showed 31.2 percent ethanol and HPCL's 30.5 percent ethanol. Be it government companies or private companies - all have crossed the prescribed limit." He expressed concern that due to excessive ethanol, the mileage of vehicles decreases and the cost of repairs increases. He also challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an open debate on this issue.
