Nitin Gadkari replies to criticism of E20 petrol, calls it a 'paid political campaign'
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari responded to criticism of ethanol-blended E20 petrol, calling it a "paid campaign" and urging people to not pay attention to it. "ARAI and Supreme Court have given clarity on E20 programme. There was a campaign on social media to target me politically," Gadkari said. Multiple people flagged mileage reduction and engine damage due to E20 petrol.
