What is E20 Janata Party? Viral campaign demands Nitin Gadkari's resignation

The E20 Janata Party is an online citizen campaign opposing India's rollout of E20, 20% ethanol-blended petrol, demanding transparency, consumer choice to buy 100% petrol, and the resignation of road transport minister Nitin Gadkari. The movement, posting memes and complaints, claims E20 reduces mileage and harms older engines, seeks independent studies and clear fuel labelling, and has mobilized taxi associations planning a march in Delhi.
