Won't allow even PM's plane to land in Kota: Raj BJP MLA

BJP MLA Bhawani Singh Rajawat has said that landing of any VIP plane, even if "it is of the prime minister", won't be allowed here if the long-pending demand of commercial flight operations from Kota is not met.
The existing airport, where there is no regular commercial flight activity is reserved for VIPs only, he said.
"If our demand for commercial flight operations at Kota airport is not met, any VIP plane or aircraft, even if it is of the prime minister of the country, would not be allowed to land here," the MLA from Ladpura area of Kota said yesterday at the opening ceremony of a Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) here, the first such facility in the state.

At the event, Rajawat asked the people what they would do with the passport centre if there are no regular commercial flights available.
Rajawat, who has often been in news for his controversial remarks, also praised state Congress chief Sachin Pilot for ensuring the setting up an airport at Kishangarh in Ajmer during his tenure as an MP.
Regular flight operations from Kota airport were discontinued in 1994.
