ꦏAfter Shivraj Singh Chouhan, BJP spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill has criticised Air India for its “broken seats, worst staff and pathetic on ground staff support".
💯On Tuesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s national spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill slammed the Indian airline over its poor service and “broken seats."
💝Taking to X, the spokesperson referred it to as the “worst airline," adding that if there was an Oscar equivalent for worst airlines, Air India would win in all categories.
Despite slamming the airline publicly, the BJP 💧spokesperson did not share much detail of the incident that caused such a strong taunt. On Tuesday, Shergill claimed that flying through Air India was not a pleasing experience; it “broke all records”.
🥃In a reply to Shergill’s post, the airline stated - “Dear Mr. Shergill, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Kindly share the travel details with us via DM. We'll get in touch with you."
Previously, BJP leader and Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan claimed that he was given a broken seat on an Air India flight♍ and criticized the airline for mismanagement with seat arrangements.
ꦉIn a post on X, Chouhan said, “Today I had to come from Bhopal to Delhi, inaugurate the Kisan Mela in Pusa, hold a meeting of the Natural Farming Mission in Kurukshetra and discuss with the representatives of the Kisan Organisation in Chandigarh. I had booked a ticket on Air India flight number AI436, I was allotted seat number 8C. I went and sat on the seat, the seat was broken and sunken in. It was uncomfortable to sit.”
🌃He also said he thought the airline would improve after being taken over by the TATA management, however, he said it turned out to be his misunderstanding. “I don't care about discomfort in sitting but it is unethical to make passengers sit on bad and uncomfortable seats after charging them full amount. Isn't this cheating the passengers?” he further said.
ꩵSeparately, Air India apologised for the episode and ordered a "thorough probe", while the Directorate General of Civil Aviation required a report from the airline on the matter
