Bhopal parliamentarian Pragya Singh Thakur on Saturday registered a strong protest with Spice Jet staff aboard a Bhopal-bound flight after being denied the seat of her choice on the plane. “When I asked for an explanation as to why I haven’t been allotted the seat that I had booked, they refused to give me a reason,” she said.
“I was forced to approach the airport management, who then handed me a complaint form to register my grievance,” the first time MP added.
She further came down heavily on the Spice Jet staff, accusing them of “misbehaving with her” on an earlier occasion as well.
“The staff of Spice Jet hasn’t been on their best behaviour with me. Even in the past, they haven’t behaved well with me,” she said.
The Bhopal MP reasoned that services like air travel and railways must follow the laid out rules, failing which the public experienced inconvenience.
“If trains and planes don’t operate as per rules, the public are bound to blame the representatives.
Thakur rejected the claim that she had sat on a dharna over not being given her preferred seat.
