Kejriwal Alleges Centre Trying to Disrupt AAP Town Hall on E20 Fuel

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged on Tuesday that the central government is attempting to sabotage an upcoming Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) town hall meeting scheduled for August 1. The event was intended to discuss the government's E20 fuel policy, which mandates a blend of 20% ethanol with gasoline.

Kejriwal claimed that police officers visited the Constitution Club, the venue for the town hall, and pressured management to cancel the booking. He stated this action is part of a broader effort to disrupt the AAP's public engagement activities. The chief minister did not provide specific evidence for the police's alleged involvement or the government's directive.

The AAP has been vocal in its opposition to the E20 fuel policy, raising concerns about its potential impact on vehicles and the environment. The planned town hall was part of the party's initiative to gather public opinion and voice concerns regarding the policy. The alleged disruption attempt highlights the ongoing political tensions between the AAP-led Delhi government and the central administration.
