Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad plans to sue the airline companies. So far, 56-year-old Gaikwad, a two-time MLA and first-time MP from Osmanabad, has not got an audience from Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray.

The Sena chief had refused to comment on the issue, however, senior Shiv Sena leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker Dr Manohar Joshi said, “We want to know what exactly has happened.” “I will take legal action against IndiGo and Air India for cancelling my confirmed tickets,” 

Gaikwad was quoted as saying on Sunday. The move to cancel his tickets came after Air India and Federation



of Indian Airlines (FIA), comprising private airliners IndiGo, Jet Airways, SpiceJet and Go Air, put him on no-fly list.

Gaikwad on Sunday claimed that he was asked by a top party leader not to speak with the media over the issue, PTI reports from Osmanabad. “A senior Sena leader ordered me not to speak with media till Wednesday (March 29) and so I am not coming before the media. I will come to Omerga on Tuesday and celebrate the Marathi new year ‘Gudi Padwa’ with my family and Shiv Sainiks. I will then attend the Lok Sabha Session on Wednesday,” Gaikwad told PTI over phone.
