NDTV
Jyotiraditya Scindia tweeted, "As former Minister of State for Civil Aviation, it is highly shocking that @kcvenugopalmp Ji has made such undiscerning & ill-informed remarks on the aviation sector"
Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia hit out at senior Congress leader KC Venugopal for his sharp remarks over "skyrocketing airfares", calling it "ill-informed" and shocking".
Lashing out at the BJP government, KC Venugopal had said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that people wearing hawai chappals (slippers) can now travel in aeroplanes, sounds like a "cruel joke".
In a point-wise rebuttal, Mr Scindia said the Indian economy continues to stand as a beacon of hope at a time when the global economy continues to struggle.
In a series of tweets, the Congress leader had highlighted six points and questioned whether the government had any intervention planned to check airfares.
