Ahmedabad: On Thursday, all roads in Bengaluru - rather, all runways - led to BJP's national executive meet. It was a red carpet laid out on HAL airport and Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), both 35 kms from each other. Prime minister Narendra Modi, home minister Rajnath Singh and several union ministers arrived at HAL, while all other dignitaries from across the country - barring one state - touched down in commercial flights at the KIA for the jamboree.
That one state was Gujarat. Following in the path shown by none other Modi himself when he was the CM there, his successor, Anandiben Patel, flew down in a chartered flight. Her counterparts from Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Haryana and Jharkhand arrived in aam janta flights. Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje Scindia took IndiGo 6E-468 flight along with railways minister Suresh Prabhu. Chief minister of Chhattisgarh, Raman Singh, flew Jet (9W-2608), Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar came in IndiGo 6E-507 and Jharkhand CM Raghubar Das by Indi- Go (GE-347).
The Gujarat chief minister landed in a VT APL owned by Karnavati Aviation Pvt Ltd, which has its address in Adani House in Ahmedabad. According to the travel itinerary of dignitaries accessed by Bangalore Mirror, among four chief ministers and an ex-chief minister, it is only the Gujarat CM who took the option of flying down in a private flight. Not only Anandiben Patel, but a phalanx of RSS-BJP leaders from Gujarat chose chartered flights to the humble commercial flight.
