Hours after Samajwadi chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that his helicopter was briefly stopped from flying from Delhi to UP’s Muzaffarnagar as part of a “conspiracy” by the ruling BJP, sources said that there was no deliberate attempt to delay his chopper and it was a result of heavy air traffic at the airport.
“There was no deliberate permission delay to Akhilesh chopper. The delay was procedural and due to heavy traffic at the Delhi airport. When his chopper was given permission, it had less fuel and it was under non-permissible limits,” sources in the government told CNN-News18.
“After refuelling, it was in the queue and permission was given a in particular order. The airport flight system is under the ATC and manual interference is difficult unless (there are) some extraordinary circumstances,” they said.
The Samajwadi Party chief, who is fighting a key battle in the upcoming assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, had on Friday afternoon alleged that his helicopter was stopped from flying from Delhi to UP’s Muzaffarnagar.
“People told me that BJP leaders had taken off before me… I was told about air traffic…but no air traffic for BJP leaders who had taken off? They didn’t have to wait while I had to wait for over 2 hours… no matter what BJP does, people of UP will remove them,” Yadav told News18.
He later tweeted: “My helicopter has been delayed in Delhi without any reason and is not being allowed to go to Muzaffarnagar, even though a top BJP leader has just flown from here. This is a desperate attempt and a conspiracy by the losing BJP.”

The SP this week released its first list of 159 candidates for the upcoming assembly elections. In what could be termed as a measure to neutralise the polarisation attempt, the SP fielded only 30 Muslims out of its 159 candidates. Although the full list of the candidates is yet to come, in 2017 the Samajwadi Party had fielded 87 Muslim candidates in total.
