MP Tejaswi Surya did not open emergency exit of plane: Annamalai
Chikkamagaluru: MP Tejaswi Surya is intelligent, he did not open the emergency exit door of the flight, K Annamalai, Tamil Nadu state president of the BJP, has said.
The Bangalore South BJP MP has been accused of opening the emergency exit door of an IndiGo plane flying from Chennai on December 10, 2022, causing a delay in the take-off by two hours.
Responding to queries of the media in Chikkamagaluru regarding the incident, Annamalai, who is also said to have been traveling with Surya in the same flight, said, “Surya was seated near the emergency exit. ATR planes have no hand rest for the seats, and Surya had kept his hand on the door. As a result, the door opened slightly. Surya brought it to the notice of the plane crew members immediately. The pilot himself handled the situation. The IndiGo authorities themselves have clarified on the matter.”
Annamalai further stated that the Parliamentarian is knowledgeable and holds a post of responsibility. “The Karnataka Congress leaders have no other work at hand and are stretching this matter to such an extent,” he opined.
