Conspiracy says Akhilesh after chopper denied permission, official cites high air traffic

Samajwadi Party chief Akhliesh Yadav accused BJP of conspiracy after his helicopter was not allowed to take off from Delhi on Friday.

Akhilesh had tweeted on Friday afternoon that BJP had stopped is helicopter from taking off without giving any reason because they wanted to prevent him from going to Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, where he was supposed to address a meeting.

News agency ANI quoted a Delhi airport official as saying that the SP chief's helicopter was denied permission to fly due to high air traffic.

In reply, Akhilesh said that senior BJP leaders had been allowed to take off and questioned if there was no 'high air traffic' for BJP leaders.

He said he had to wait for over 2 hours at the airport but BJP leaders faced no such inconvenience.
