The hashtag #TejasviSuryaMP trended on Twitter on Wednesday as netizens criticised the BJP MP for opening the emergency door of a flight before its takeoff. Several tweets said the rich and powerful always had an easy way out after committing such mistakes, adding that the emergency door could not have been opened accidentally.
Mansoor Khan, chairman of the Karnataka Congress’s research department, said the episode reflected double standards. “The privilege and the entitlement of Tejasvi Surya has been supported by entire BJPapparatus. He does something against safety and security of other passengers on a plane and gets away with an apology letter. One rule for them another for everyone else?” he tweeted with the hashtag#TejasviSurya.
