BJP defends Tejasvi Surya amid IndiGo emergency door row

After a row erupted over the opening of the emergency exit door of an IndiGo aircraft by BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai who was also onboard at the time of the incident, has said that Surya "accidentally touched the emergency door" but it was not his fault that the flight got delayed. Annamalai’s comments came a day after Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said the emergency exit door of an IndiGo flight last year was opened by "mistake". He had also claimed that BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has already apologised for it.
