BJP wants Air India chief sacked 'outright'

August 09, 2011 13:37

Amid reports yesterday, that the government was planning to remove Air India chief Arvind Jadhav, the BJP today alleged he was responsible for "financial mismanagement" and demanded he should be sacked "outright" and disciplinary proceedings initiated against him.

Party spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy alleged that the Prime Minister's Office was "straightaway responsible" for the "manipulated appointment" of Jadhav even after he was not found fit by it previous year "on the basis of lack of domain experience."

"The BJP would like to say here very categorically that removal is not a solution. The gentleman concerned who is responsible for a financial mismanagement of Rs 70000 crores should be sacked outright. He should be suspended and disciplinary proceedings should be instituted against him. That is important," Rudy said.
