The organizations have also formed Agra International Airport Sangharsh Samiti and launched a Facebook page. A video of Modi's pre-Lok Sabha elections speech here in 2013 in which he had promised an international airport for Agra has been liked by more than 8,000 people within a day of being posted.
Rajiv Tiwari, who has been made convener of the Samiti, said, "I have stepped down as the member of the AAI's advisory committee, given the fact that the body is toothless and has not been able to implement simple rulings, leave alone big measures like having regular flights from here or an international airport for Agra."
