New Delhi: A private jet carrying Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh and senior leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley made an emergency landing on Monday at Delhi airport after it developed problems in its auto-pilot system.
The BJP leaders were flying to southern Indian state Karnataka's capital Bangalore to address an election rally there but the plane made an emergency landing nine minutes after taking off this morning, sources told PTI here.
They added that all the passengers on-board the aircraft are safe and may fly to Bangalore if alternate arrangements are made.
The turbine powered Challenger jet is owned by a Mumbai- based company called Eon Aviation. It is a nine-seater plane with the call sign of VT-DBG, ATC sources said.
