Bhopal MP Pragya Singh Thakur on Saturday evening created a massive ruckus at Raja Bhoj Airport after private airline SpiceJet allegedly denied her the seat she had booked during a Delhi-Bhopal flight.
Sadhvi registered protest and lodged a complaint against the private carrier after alighting from flight SG 2489 from Delhi. According to the reports, after reaching Bhopal airport, Pragya did not alight and stayed put on her seat on the plane for some time after the flight landed. After requests she finally got down and lodged the complaint.
“I did not stage a dharna in the flight. I have told the authorities. Spice Jet flight staff does not behave properly with the passengers. Their conduct was not proper earlier too. I had the same complaint today,” she told reporters after someone asked her about the dharna.
“They did not give me the allotted seat. I asked them to show the rules. I called the director and lodged the complaint with him,” she said.
Airport Director Anil Vikram also confirmed that the BJP leader has filed a complaint against the carrier. “I have received a complaint from her over seat allotment. We will look into it on Monday,” said Anil Vikram.
The 49-year-old Sadhvi has courted controversies on several occasions in the recent past.
