Delhi News: Kejriwal Marches Towards PM Residence Over E20 Petrol Issue, Stopped

A political confrontation unfolded in Delhi as Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal led a march towards the Prime Minister’s residence over the E20 petrol issue. The march began from the AAP office, with party leaders and supporters joining Kejriwal to raise objections over the government’s ethanol-blended fuel policy. The protest march was stopped by Delhi Police near Feroz Shah Road, where security arrangements were put in place. Kejriwal, along with senior AAP leaders including Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, sat on the road after being stopped by authorities. Visuals showed party workers gathered around the leaders as they demanded permission to proceed further. Police deployed multiple layers of barricading in the area and made security arrangements, including the presence of riot control personnel and equipment. Authorities restricted movement towards the Prime Minister’s residence due to security concerns. AAP leaders argued that the government’s ethanol blending initiative could create problems and demanded a discussion on the issue. The protest has added another political flashpoint between the ruling BJP and the opposition party in Delhi. The demonstration comes as the AAP continues to raise concerns over fuel policies and their impact on consumers. Meanwhile, Delhi Police maintained security measures around the protest site to prevent any untoward incident.
