No tarmac access for Lalu, wife at Patna airport

New Delhi: RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi will no more be able to drive straight to their aircraft at Patna airport as the central government has withdrawn tarmac access for their vehicle, according to officials.
“Previous order (allowing access) was for Patna airport only, which has been withdrawn,” an official at the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
The move comes after the Ministry of Civil Aviation wrote a letter to the BCAS informing that it had decided to revoke permission granted in 2009 allowing Lalu Yadav and his wife’s vehicle to drive up to the tarmac.
The letter asks BCAS to take “immediate action to issue necessary instructions” to ensure implementation of the ministry’s decision. Lalu was the chief minister of Bihar from 1990 to 1997 when he was forced to step down following corruption charges. (PTI)
