Captains wife keeps minister waiting

Chennai: In another example of people with connections getting preferential treatment at airports, Premalatha, wife of DMDK chief Vijayakanth, apparently made herself at home in the VIP room at the domestic airport.
Arriving early for a Spicejet flight to Madurai, Premalatha, who is neither a sitting MLA, MP nor a minister (the minimum pre-requisite for using the VIP room) was allowed to use the room, allegedly with the help of the airline, said sources. They added that though such indiscretions were swept under the carpet very often, it became a problem when state Finance Minister O Paneerselvam was also scheduled to arrive to take a different flight to the temple city.
Meanwhile, the Minister also arrived and had to wait for a while before he was allowed to use the VIP room.
