Bharat Petroleum rejected Karnataka E20 claim with facts. Then deleted the tweet, screenshots went viral, draw backlash

Bharat Petroleum is currently running a ‘Let the Facts Speak’ campaign on X, countering the Karnataka government’s damning E20 claim. However, one deleted tweet has drawn flak and raised concerns. Shared on Sunday, the tweet claimed that testing of the ethanol blend in petrol at a Mysuru pump showed it adhered to the mandated 20 per cent level. However, many were quick to point out that the ethanol content, in fact, breached the limit and touched 33 per cent. Although Bharat Petroleum swiftly deleted the tweet, screenshots of it went viral, with people calling out the company for its double standards.
