Thackeray: Airlines troubled, but no impact on Mallya's lifestye

November 15, 2011 14:48

As Vijay Mallya's press briefing in Mumbai continues, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray today opposed any attempt by the government to bail out Kingfisher Airlines saying that if the Manmohan Singh-led UPA has excess money, it should be utilised for re-starting closed textile mills in Mumbai and waiving off loans to farmers.

"Kingfisher finds itself in trouble due to its owner Vijay Mallya. The airline has no money to pay its employees and purchase fuel for the planes. But, there is no impact on Mallya's lifestyle or his other businesses," Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
