Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday criticised Air India for mismanagement with seat arrangements after he was allotted a broken seat and questioned whether they were cheating passengers.
In a post on X, the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister said, “Today I had to come from Bhopal to Delhi, inaugurate the Kisan Mela in Pusa, hold a meeting of the Natural Farming Mission in Kurukshetra and discuss with the representatives of the Kisan Organisation in Chandigarh. I had booked a ticket on Air India flight number AI436, I was allotted seat number 8C. I went and sat on the seat, the seat was broken and sunken in. It was uncomfortable to sit.”
He added that when he asked the airline staff about the seat allocated to him, they stated that the management was aware of the seat’s condition and the ticket to the seat was not supposed to be sold.
