The Story in Brief
AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday that defeating the BJP in the 2027 Goa assembly polls would force the central government to scrap the E20 fuel policy within five days. Addressing party workers in Margao, he claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi only understands the 'language of votes' and that a BJP defeat would 'shatter his arrogance'. Kejriwal has been a vocal critic of the 20% ethanol blending mandate, alleging it will damage vehicle engines and was adopted to import ethanol from the US. He previously led a protest march to the Prime Minister's residence submitting a memorandum against the policy.
The Indian Opinion
The noise around E20 policy sounds like a desperate attempt to whip up anti-incumbency ahead of 2027 Goa elections. Kejriwal's claim that Delhi will dictate fuel policy to Goa after a state election result is constitutionally absurd. The real test is whether voters prioritise ethanol blend fears over BJP's local track record. A single-issue campaign rarely wins state elections. Watch how many seats AAP actually contests and wins in 2027 before buying this ultimatum.
