Flight ticket not confirmed, Rosaiah faces 'aam aadmi' plight

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah on Sunday faced a common man's woes after he was stranded for a while at the Tirupati airport in Renigunta as his ticket to the state capital was not confirmed.
His Principal Secretary B Sam Bob and the head of Chief Minister's Security Group (CMSG) Sashidhar Reddy were also supposed to accompany Rosaiah on the flight but all the three were kept on the wait list by Kingfisher airlines. "The Kingfisher Airlines staff refused to let the Chief Minister and his aides take the flight without confirmed tickets, official sources in the Chief Minister's Office said.
This left the Chittoor district officials as well as the CMSG personnel in a tizzy. Interestingly, Union Minister for Urban Development S Jaipal Reddy, his deputy Kumari Selja, several state ministers, a few MPs and their personal staff were also on the same flight.
They all were returning to Hyderabad after attending the marriage of Tirupati MP Chinta Mohan's daughter. "Luckily, two personal staff members of the political leaders were on the same flight. They agreed to cancel their journey and let the Chief Minister fly back to Hyderabad," the official told PTI.
