AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will withdraw the E20 ethanol-blended petrol policy by March 15, 2027, if the BJP loses the Goa assembly elections. Speaking in Margao, Kejriwal alleged Modi understands only the “language of votes” and urged voters to unite against the BJP. He claimed a BJP defeat would “shatter” Modi’s arrogance. Kejriwal cited student protests that forced a minister’s resignation as proof that pressure works. The AAP has announced it will campaign heavily on the E20 issue in Goa, where elections are due in 2027.
