As Yogi Lobbies to Shift Aero India to Lucknow
Upset Karnataka Deputy CM Questions Defence Ministry's Intent
New Delhi, August 11: Amid reports of the Defence Ministry shifting its ‘Aero India’ show to Uttar Pradesh from Bengaluru — the city that has hosted the event for the past 22 years — Karnataka Deputy CM G Parameshwara asked minister Nirmala Sitharaman to clarify her stand on the same.
Parameshwara’s comments come even as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday appealed to Sitharaman to hold the significant defence show in Uttar Pradesh and that his government would provide all required facilities for the same.
“Reports of #AeroIndia being moved out of Bengaluru are very unfortunate. We have been India's Defence Hub since Independence, but under the NDA we are constantly losing key defense projects and flagship programs. I request @nsitharaman to clarify her stand on the issue,” the Karnataka Deputy CM posted in a tweet.
Lobbying hard to host Aero India, the country's biennial air show and aviation exhibition, Yogi Adityanath said his government would provide all possible help to organise the event.
He said it would be beneficial from the point of view of defence production.
Reports of #AeroIndia being moved out of Bengaluru are very unfortunate.
