Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai who was a co-passenger of Tejasvi Surya on the IndiGo flight where Tejasvi ‘mistakenly’ opened the emergency exit on Thursday said no such thing happened. After maintaining his silence on the issue, Annamalai on Thursday said Tejasvi did not open the emergency exit. “There was no handrest on his sear. So he placed his hand on the door and then he noticed a gap in the door and showed it to me,” Annamalai said in Chakkamangaluru.
The statement comes a day after Union civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia commented on the IndiGo incident and said that the passenger (Tejasvi Surya) mistakenly opened the emergency exit and then apologised for the mistake. All checks were done and there was no threat to security, the minister added.
