The Delhi civic body meeting was disrupted recently as members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged a protest against the central government's E20 petrol policy. The E20 policy, which mandates the blending of 20% ethanol with petrol, has become a point of contention between the ruling party at the Centre and the AAP-led local administration.

During the session, several AAP councillors stood on their benches, clapped, and entered the Well of the House to voice their opposition. The protest caused significant disruption to the proceedings of the civic body. While the AAP members framed their actions as a necessary stand against the policy, the report does not provide a response from the opposition or the central government representatives regarding the specific grievances raised by the councillors. The incident highlights the ongoing friction between the local municipal leadership and central government initiatives, with the civic body floor being used as a platform for broader political disagreement.
