BJP MP and former civil aviation minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy shared a video on Friday on Twitter to commemorate a “unique” flight in which an MP “is going to fly the standing committee on civil aviation and tourism”.
Rudy who is a commercial pilot can be heard saying over the in-flight announcement system that former Bihar deputy CM Sushil Modi, former Uttarakhand chief minister Tirath Singh Rawat, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and many MPs and their family members were present in the Indigo aircraft, making it a “historic” flight. “On its own, it is a beautiful and historic day,” he announced.
Rudy also asks passengers to welcome the youngest flier amongst all of them -- Manoj Tiwari’s six-month-old daughter Sanvika. “The smallest passenger today with us is little baby Sanvika, the youngest passenger who’s six months old and the daughter of Manoj Tiwariji. Let’s put our hands together for her first flight,” he says as the camera pans to the child in her mother’s arms.
