Resignation of Nitin Gadkari over Ethanol (E20)
The Issue
India's citizens deserve policies that are transparent, practical, evidence-based, and developed with adequate public consultation.
This petition calls for the resignation of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari due to concerns regarding the promotion and implementation of ethanol-blended fuel (particularly E20) and broader issues related to road infrastructure and transport policy.
Many citizens believe that:
- The rapid push toward E20 has raised concerns about its compatibility with older vehicles, potential costs for vehicle owners, fuel efficiency, and long-term impacts.
- Policies affecting millions of vehicle owners should involve greater transparency, wider public consultation, and independent scientific evaluation.
- Road safety, road quality, maintenance, and accountability should receive equal priority alongside fuel policy initiatives.
- Public concerns deserve meaningful responses and policy decisions should be reviewed whenever substantial questions are raised.
We respectfully urge the Government of India to:
1. Seek the resignation of Nitin Gadkari from the position of Union Minister.
2. Conduct an independent review of the E20 ethanol policy, including its economic, environmental, and technical impacts.
3. Improve transparency and public consultation for future transport and fuel-related policies.
4. Strengthen accountability for road quality, maintenance, and road safety across the country.
This petition is intended to encourage democratic discussion and accountability through peaceful and lawful means.
By signing this petition, you support greater transparency, public accountability, and evidence-based policymaking in India's transport and fuel sectors.
