Kejriwal announces ‘National Town Hall’ on E20; to give 2 lakh petitions to PM Modi
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal announced a national town hall against E20-blended petrol scheduled for August 1 at the Constitution Club in New Delhi.

Through the Reader lens — Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will hold a National Town Hall on August 1 at the Constitution Club in New Delhi centered on E20-blended petrol and what AAP describes as related 'paper leaks.' The event is designed to consolidate opposition to the government's ethanol blending push and to generate attention before AAP submits formal petitions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Coverage across Indian outlets confirms the venue and date; neutral reporting frames it as a scheduled party event, while critical-leaning coverage highlights AAP's attempt to link the fuel policy to controversies around exam paper leaks. How the petitions will be received and whether the Centre responds has not yet been reported. The next markers to watch are the town hall's turnout, key speakers, and any formal reply from the PMO or oil ministry.
