Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Jyotiradity Scindia, on Sunday attacked Congress leader K C Venugopal over his remarks on the aviation sector. The minister said that it is highly shocking that he had made such undiscerning and ill-informed remarks on the aviation sector.
In a Tweet Scindia said, “As former Minister of State for Civil Aviation, it is highly shocking that K C Venugopal Ji has made such undiscerning and ill-informed remarks on the aviation sector.”
He further went on to dismiss Venugopal’s allegations, emphasising that airport operations are the responsibility of private operators and the airlines have been asked to self-regulate their prices which has resulted in 14 to 60 per cent reduction.
The Congress general secretary organisation had said that it was criminal to lift the caps on airfares in August 2022 and asked if the government has any plans to intervene to ensure that the consumers do not suffer. To this Scindia said, “There is no reason that a deregulated sector like aviation should be put under government control – the repercussions of which have known to dent the growth potential of this sector in the past.”
Talking about GoFirst he said that the portion of the routes that were earlier being served by GoFirst have already been allotted to other airlines.
