The former Delhi chief minister made the announcement at the “National Townhall Against E20”.
He said that over two lakh people had signed the online petition addressed to the PM and that he would personally deliver printed copies.
Kejriwal said, “A few days ago, I asked the people of the country to sign a petition addressed to the Prime Minister. So far, more than two lakh people have signed it online... At 12 noon on August 4, I will personally go to the PM’s residence to hand them over. I will take only 100 people with me who are not afraid of police lathis or going to jail.”

Meanwhile, Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra dismissed Kejriwal’s allegations. “...He should produce even 100 vehicles that have actually suffered damage or engine failure because of using E20 fuel,” Malhotra said.
