Row over delay in Rahul Gandhi's chopper take-off, Congress blames BJP

India Today  

Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's helicopter was grounded for nearly two hours in Jharkhand’s Godda on Friday due to a lack of clearance for takeoff, which the Congress claimed was politically motivated. According to sources, the helicopter's clearance was held up due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Bihar’s Jamui, which affected the airspace availability in the region. Jharkhand Minister and Congress leader Dipika Pandey Singh expressed strong disapproval over the delay in Rahul Gandhi's helicopter clearance from the Air Traffic Control, questioning whether the right to campaign freely in this country is reserved solely for the Prime Minister. When asked why the BJP would allegedly engage in such actions, she retorted, “That’s something only the BJP can answer.” After a delay of over two hours, Rahul Gandhi was eventually given clearance and took off from Godda.
