E20 Janta Party Makes Entry After CJP, Demands 'Right To Choose Fuel' And Nitin Gadkari's Resignation

After CJP, a new outfit known as the "E20 Janata Party" has entered the spotlight; this time the debate is over fuel. The party is urging the Centre to restore consumer choice by allowing petrol pumps to sell 100 per cent petrol alongside E20 fuel. The outfit supports ethanol-blended fuel and alternative fuel options for customers. Its key demand, therefore, is letting consumers decide what goes inside their vehicle.

Along with ethanol-free fuel for consumption, the outfit, whose X account is based in Malaysia, has demanded the resignation of Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari. The organisation has also clarified its stance on transparent labelling, saying that petrol pumps should clearly indicate which fuel a customer is purchasing.

The outfit, whose X account gained nearly 2,500 followers within hours, demanded that the Centre present data on costs, benefits, and impacts of fuel blending and that investigations be conducted to assess the impact on vehicle mileage, engine performance, emissions, and maintenance costs.

'Agenda To Ensure Transparency'

Sharing a hard-hitting post on X, the E20 Janata Party said, "The E20 Janata Party is not a political party. We are an independent citizens' movement focused on raising issues that affect the common people. Our only agenda is to ensure transparency, protect consumer rights, and encourage an open public discussion on the real impact of India’s E20 (20% ethanol-blended petrol) policy."

"We do not support or endorse any political party. Our support is for the people, not for any political ideology. Please don’t get distracted by rumours about who is behind this movement or where it is being operated from. Such speculation only takes attention away from the real issue. Our demand is simple: accountability, transparency, and the right of consumers to be heard.”

Why the CJP comparison?

Just like the Cockroach Janta Party, the E20 Janta Party is also presented as a contemporary, citizen-led outfit that uses social media to mobilise support. The CJP began in May 2026 as a satirical political movement after a remark equated unemployed and political youth to "cockroaches". The CJP, which quickly evolved into a youth-led movement that combined memes with five core demands, drove real protests and political outcomes.

The E20 Janta Party, on the other hand, emphasises consumer rights against fuel policy. Its initial posts are more meme-driven, just like the CJP, and echo the same tone that made the Abhijeet Dipke-led outfit a national phenomenon. Sharing a post by Dipke dated May 16, the E20 Janta Party wrote, "What if all bike/car owners come together?" In his post, Dipke wrote, "What if all cockroaches come together?"
