Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad lost his calm this morning upon landing at Delhi airport after his business class ticket was changed to an economy section one. The MP hit one of the Air India staff members with his slipper while they were trying to get him to deplane.
A defiant Gaekwad proudly admitted to having hit the airline staffer and gave multiple interviews to news channels to ensure there was no doubt about it.
“Yes I hit him. He misbehaved with me. Do you expect me to hear their abuses quietly?” he said.
Gaikwad even kept a count and bragged about hitting the staffer 25 times after the employee threatened to complain about the matter to PM Narendra Modi.
Reactions poured in from across quarters dissing the snooty MP for his actions:
Third grade animal. @airindiain staff should have hit him back with shoes and chappals.
This is actual face of #ShivSena https://t.co/EzuPQY9a7c— Er. Satya✒ (@Engineer_PKS) March 23, 2017
