Seat Dispute on Air India Flight: DMK MP vs Annamalai

A political controversy erupted over a seat dispute on an Air India flight in Tamil Nadu, sparking a war of words between the DMK and BJP. DMK MP Thangam Thennarasu was scheduled to travel from Delhi to Chennai on an Air India flight, but the airline allegedly downgraded his seat from business class to economy class. This incident led to a heated exchange between the two parties.

DMK MP Thangam Thennarasu took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his displeasure, questioning how such a situation could occur for an MP and raising concerns about the treatment of ordinary passengers. He criticized the airline for downgrading his ticket class without proper justification.

In response, Tamil Nadu BJP leader K Annamalai slammed the DMK MP, stating that such an incident should not have happened but also criticizing the MP for overreacting. Annamalai pointed out that if an MP is so distressed over a seat downgrade, it reflects the DMK's governance and its disconnect with the struggles of common people. He further accused the DMK of representing a privileged mindset and failing to address the real issues faced by the public.

The incident has sparked a broader debate on social media, with netizens divided over the issue. While some sympathized with the MP, others criticized the political parties for turning a minor issue into a major controversy. The incident highlights the ongoing political tensions between the DMK and BJP in Tamil Nadu.
