For a welcome change in a country where political leaders complain and frown when they are not given VIP treatment or the treatment they received wasn't as great as they expected, a politician has shown a new way.
Vivek Tankha, a newly elected Rajya Sabha MP from Madhya Pradesh surprised budget private carrier SpiceJet after he complained that they treated him like a VIP!
The Congress MP who travelled Jabalpur-Delhi on July 6 wrote to SpiceJet promoter Ajay Singh to express his displeasure over getting preferential treatment.
"I strongly feel that an MP is like any other passenger and should expect the same courtesy as offered to other passengers. As a concerned citizen I feel there is no need to extend such extra courtesy to any MP or any VVIP/VIP. In fact I found this extra courtesy extremely embarrassing."
Requesting the airline to stop such treatment, at least for him, the MP in his letter urges to "discontinue the practice with immediate effect for all VIPs (or at least for me) barring if there is some very genuine or compelling security/health consideration."
