Actress Manchu Lakshmi fires on Air India in a series of tweets as they delay the flight for technical reasons. She questioned, ” What is joy in keeping passengers in the dark for over 4 hrs”. She was travelling from Pune to Hyderabad and the flight got delayed and the crew was giving false reasons for the delay.

She tweeted, “Dear @airindiain, u made wait 4 hrs in the airport with ur lies of we will take off shortly and now when we are supposed to take off at 12.15am now u tell us another 2 hr delay. An officer walks away as he speaks to me.. No food no water no information.. Stranded in pune! Now what. And now I get information from hyderabad to tell the ground staff in pune whats happening with their flt. They lie bad weather when they changed flts because of technical issues.. What is joy in keeping passengers in the dark for over 4 hrs ?? ”

Earlier Venkayya Naidu (before becoming Vice president) also slammed air india for the same reason.
