Bihar MP Pappu Yadav on Wednesday dismissed allegations of harassment levelled at him by an airhostess, claiming that there was a conspiracy against him.
"I have been travelling by flight for the past 35 years and there has never been a single allegation against me. I am going to file a complaint against this allegation to the CEO of the airlines because I feel that the airhostess and the crew is doing this just to get into the public eye. I think that this is a conspiracy against me," Yadav told ANI.
On Tuesday, Yadav, who was recently expelled from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), reportedly misbehaved with an airhostess on a Patna-Delhi flight, forcing the captain to seek priority landing and call for security on arrival.
