AAP councillors gathered in the Delhi Municipal Corporation on Thursday, taking to the benches and clapping in a coordinated protest against the central government's E20 petrol policy.
The demonstrators climbed onto the benches, raising slogans and chanting slogans demanding a shift away from the E20 blend.
They also entered the Well of the House, a symbolic gesture aimed at drawing attention to the issue.
The protest highlighted growing opposition within Delhi's local bodies to the national fuel policy, which mandates a 20% ethanol blend in petrol.
Officials from the corporation have yet to respond to the protest, but the incident underscores the tension between local and national policy priorities.
