TDP MP JC Diwakar Reddy clarifies his stand after airlines ban

TDP MP JC Diwakar Reddy landed in trouble after creating ruckus at the Visakhapatnam Airport where he was not allowed to board an Indigo flight to Hyderabad.

The TDP MP who reportedly turned up late, lost his cool and misbehaved with Indigo airline staff, which were caught on camera. He was seen pushing an airline staffer and trying to throw a printer on the floor apart from throwing abuses at the staff.

Following this, Indigo Airlines announced its decision to bar JC Diwakar Reddy from its flights which was taken up even by Air India and four other airlines.

Responding to the Airlines ban, the TDP leader said that he didn't assault or abuse anyone. Explaining that he had called the Airlines officer and had only rested his hand on officer's shoulder in a friendly gesture, Diwakar Reddy said that the clippings telecasted on the television are being misinterpreted and clarified that he didn't break the printer but just dragged it smoothly.

He further said that the Airline officials didn't say anything harsh to him.
