TDP MP JC Diwakar Reddy, who has been in news for all wrong reasons after creating a mess in Visakhapatnam airport and allegedly tried to manhandle IndiGo Airlines officials, has taken an international airline to Europe. Diwakar Reddy is on his way to France for a week-long vacation which he said to had planned in much advance.
After he was denied boarding pass on IndiGo 6E 608 (from Visakhapatnam to Hyderabad), Diwakar Reddy lost his cool, pushed an official from the Airlines and even threatened to break the boarding pass printer.
Diwakar had arrived late than the time of reporting i.e 45 minutes before the departure and as he had not turned on time, the airlines officials have denied him the boarding pass. Diwakar later told media persons that he had sought the help of Union Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju who was also in the Visakhapatnam airport in the same time and said the minister ‘helped’ him. But much to the embarrassment of JC, Ashok Gajapathi Raju had denied ‘helping’ Diwakar Reddy and said that he had only told airport officials to ‘verify’ facts from the CCTV footage.
Along with IndiGo and Air India, Spicejet, GoAir, Jet Airways and Vistara are the other Airlines who banned Diwakar Reddy and supported the move to put Diwakar in no-fly list for his unruly behaviour.
