Air India has always been criticized by passengers for its poor services and the latest one to do so is Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu! Yes, he was so frustrated with Air India that he lashed out at them in a series of Tweets! Well what happened is that due to delayed flight, Mr Naidu had to miss his appointment. Moreover, the reason that ‘Air India’ gave for the delay was very silly.
Yes, Mr. Naidu who reached the airport at 12.30 pm to board the flight at 1.15 pm was told that the pilot couldn’t reach on time because of traffic Jam.
Basically Venhaiah Naidu had to attend a meeting related to ‘Swachch Bharat’ campaign and he waited almost till 1.45 pm. However, the flight took off at 2.30 pm but till then, the Union Minister had returned home! See his series of tweets!
Narrating his problem!

As soon as the Union Minister tweeted this, he immediately received a reply from Ashok Gajapathi Raju, the Civil Aviation Minister. See what he tweeted!
Service disruptions are unacceptable and have to be eliminated. Have asked AI to enquire and take action on priority https://t.co/vwVwfPMKVf
