Crisis in the Sky: IndiGo Disruptions and the Alleged Politics Behind It

The Congress accuses the Indian government of causing IndiGo flight disruptions by fostering monopolistic practices. Amidst widespread cancellations, the Ministry of Civil Aviation demands immediate refunds and baggage resolutions. Criticism focuses on deregulated safety measures and alleged favoritism toward corporate allies, putting passenger welfare at risk.

The Congress launched a scathing criticism against the government over IndiGo flight disruptions, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of failing to deliver on promises of ease in air travel. They argue that the current 'crisis' is a result of government policies fostering monopolies in the aviation industry.

Amidst the chaos affecting thousands of passengers, the Ministry of Civil Aviation stipulated that IndiGo must process ticket refunds by Sunday and ensure misplaced baggage is returned within two days. Failure to comply will result in immediate regulatory action.

Leader Sasikanth Senthil blamed the crisis on government mishandling, particularly citing revoked safety regulations and crony capitalism. He demanded accountability from Union Minister K Rammohan Naidu, asserting that public interest and market competition have been severely compromised.
