Praful made sure MP flights on time

New Delhi: Civil aviation minister Praful Patel had personally ensured that flights carrying unwell MPs from other parts of the country to New Delhi could land on time so that these MPs could cast their vote in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday on the Motion of Confidence tabled by the Prime Minister, highly-placed civil aviation ministry sources have confirmed.
"There were baseless allegations from some quarters that the government was trying to prevent Opposition MPs (who were unwell and arriving in flights) from reaching Delhi.
Therefore, civil aviation minister Praful Patel personally monitored that flights carrying these MPs landed in New Delhi in time.
For instance, the minister made sure that the flight carrying BJP members of Parliament Mahesh Kanodia (who is unwell) landed in time.
