BJP-NDA supporters reject E20. 74 pc want choice to use old petrol| CVoter Survey| AIWithSanket

In this episode of AI with Sanket, Sanket Upadhyay is joined by Khalid Akhtar, Editor, CVoter, to break down a fresh CVoter survey on the government's E20 ethanol-blending policy — and the numbers are striking. Across ten questions put to over 1,600 respondents, the survey finds that even the BJP-NDA's own supporters are turning against the policy: 48.2 per cent oppose blending altogether, over half say it was rushed through without adequate research, and 72.4 per cent want the choice to go back to regular petrol. Akhtar walks through what's driving the backlash — mileage complaints, unresolved questions over vehicle damage, an unreleased ARAI report, and a policy that scraps any price discount even though ethanol isn't an imported commodity. Sanket's takeaway: when a government's own support base rejects a flagship policy this decisively, it's a language politicians rarely ignore. 00:00 – Opening context 01:29 – Policy support 04:18 – Policy research 07:04 – Personal preference 10:26 – Vehicle impact 16:24 – Mandatory transition 19:23 – Consumer choice 21:51 – Fuel pricing 25:15 – Agricultural benefits #aiwithsanket #sanketupadhyay #e20 #ethanolblending #cvoter #khalidakhtar #petrol #fuelpolicy #bjp #nda #indianeconomy #politics #thefederal --- ▶For the latest news and analysis - https://thefederal.com/  ▶RSS Feed - https://thefederal.com/google_feeds.xml ▶For more explainers, and interesting videos - https://thefederal.com/category/videos ▶To watch The Federal's shows listed together for your easy access, click here:    • The Federal Programmes   Follow The Federal News here - ▶Website: https://thefederal.com/ ▶Facebook:   / thefederal.india   ▶X: https://x.com/TheFederal_News ▶Instagram:   / thefederal_india   ▶LinkedIn:   / thefederal   ▶Whatsapp channel: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029... ▶Threads: TheFederal India (@thefederal_india) ▶Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3fy3utP... #TheFederal #India #BreakingNews #LatestNews #News #Delhi #Mumbai #Parliament #NarendraModi #RahulGandhi #Politics #Business #Economy Download The Federal App here - ▶Android - http://bit.ly/3DJSkiu ▶iPhone - http://bit.ly/TheFederalios
