Tejasvi Surya, national president of the BJP Yuva Morcha and the party’s MP from Bengaluru South, invited backlash from the Opposition Wednesday after it came to light that he had allegedly opened the emergency exit door of an IndiGo aircraft before takeoff, at the Chennai airport on December 10 last year. While media reports named Surya, IndiGo did not name anyone in its statement. Sources at the airline, however, confirmed to The Indian Express that it was Surya, who was travelling with BJP’s Tamil Nadu president K Annamalai. According to sources, Surya later wrote an apology to the airline.
