Take my money, save Jet Airways: Vijay Mallya tells banks, slams Modi govt

Day after the government announced that banks will pump Rs 1,500 crore to save Jet Airways from crumbling down, Vijay Mallya, owner of the now defunct Kingfisher Airlines, has hit out at the Modi government for not doing anything for him.

In a series of tweets, the fugitive liquor baron said he has not been recognised for his investments to save Kingfisher and is being criticised for no reason. He also called out the present NDA regime, alleging "double standards".

"I invested over 4000 crores into Kingfisher Airlines to save the Company and its employees. Not recognised and instead slammed in every possible way. The same PSU Banks let India's finest airline with the best employees and connectivity fail ruthlessly. Double standards under NDA," wrote Vijay Mallya on Twitter.
