New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal created flutter when he travelled in a chartered aircraft from Jaipur to Delhi on Friday. Mr Kejriwal has been attacking major political leaders for using the aircraft of corporates.
As his rivals attacked him, the former Delhi chief minister said that a media group had arranged the aircraft as they wanted him to attend their conclave.
“As another plane was not available, I took the chartered plane,” Mr Kejriwal said.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed surprise after a chartered plane was provided to Kejriwal to attend the India Today conclave.
"I didn't know India Today organises charters for people on tight schedules to get to Delhi, I'd have asked for 1 instead of flying budget :)," Abdullah posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
In another tweet, he said: "That having been said I'm looking forward to my session at the India Today conclave tomorrow morning."
In a statement, the conclave's organiser India Today Group said: "This is not the first charter that has been organised by the group in the last 13 years nor will it hopefully be the last."
