BJP MP Tejasvi Surya allegedly opened emergency exit of IndiGo flight


Chennai, Jan 17 (IANS): BJP MP from Bengaluru South and national president of the party's Yuva Morcha, Tejasvi Surya, has come under the lens after IndiGo released a statement on Tuesday, claiming that a passenger had opened the emergency exit of its Chennai-Tiruchirapalli flight on December 10, 2022.

While the airline didn't name the passenger, it said the incident occurred on IndiGo flight ATR 72-600, which was scheduled to depart from Chennai to Tiruchirapalli at 10.05 a.m. but was delayed by two hours due to the act.


However, a passenger who was on the same flight has claimed that it was Tejasvi Surya who had opened the emergency exit, stating that the BJP MP was seated near the emergency exit and after the cabin crew explained the emergency rules, he pulled it open.

This led to deplaning of all the passengers, and after two hours of waiting, the flight took off.

The passenger said that the chief of BJP's Tamil Nadu unit, K. Annamalai, was also on the flight along with Surya.

He said that Surya later travelled on the same flight, but he was removed from the seat near the emergency exit.

B.T. Arasukumar, a former BJP leader and currently the spokesman of the DMK, who was also on the same flight, told IANS that he had seen both Surya and Annamalai on the flight, but did not know if the MP had opened the emergency exit.

The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has commenced an inquiry into the matter. However, when contacted by IANS, the DGCA official declined to comment on the matter.

When contacted, Surya's office informed IANS that a statement will be released soon in this regard.

So easily you said inadvertently risking passengers life and putting passengers to inconvenience is nothing to you because it's not affected you.

Floods of messages would have been poured labelling ANTI-NATIONAL or Terrorists or even more names as such. You said, there are more severe issues which need to be focused. indeed, unemployment, Inflation, fuel price, lack of medical supply, but the government is more spreading/ creating communal hatred amongst the people. deceiving public with fake news just to divert public attention from actual issues.

    Sad to see all hatred commentators jump upon our young MP when even the airline has not clearly informed who opened the emergency door. Surely, Tejasvi has travelled long enough than any people here to understand such implications, but hatred continues unabated when their LoveGuru leader is preaching love and peace!

In olden days it was the politicians hard work which made them famous, but now a days it's either their provoking statements or these kind of stupid acts. Tomorrow there will be a statement from the airline "The locking system of the emergency door got malfunctioned".

    There must be punishment for this type of act. Not in terms of money but direct to jail for one month. It should apply to all passengers including ministers. Since it is not printed on exit door the punishment and the fixing time if opened, minister just checked whether it works or not. Now it is the fault of air line not the minister. After all minister is working for the general public.
