K C Venugopal, a Congress leader, has criticized Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia for failing to control high airfares and hiding behind advisories instead of taking concrete action. The two have been engaged in a Twitter spat since Sunday over the aviation sector’s state. Venugopal accused the Ministry of Civil Aviation of neglecting passenger welfare and the aviation sector, while Scindia fired back, saying Venugopal was cherry-picking facts to attack the government. Venugopal also questioned Scindia’s assertion that the AERA is an independent body and criticized the Modi government for hiking the excise on ATF. He concluded by stating that unless concrete action is taken, the crisis will not be resolved.
