Rahul Gandhi Air scare mega twist- 'Conspiracy' wars explode, Hubli ATC saw nothing

  • 6 years ago
A week ago, a truck hit the convoy of Ananth Kumar hegde, a Karnataka BJP man some say tipped for great things. The manner of the accident left him suspicious, even fearing a sinister attempt. He was very vocal about it online. Then the poll campaign moved on. Yesterday evening NewsX got information that an extremely close call had occured on a chartered flight carrying rahul gandhi landing at hubli airport, that the plane almost flipped. The congress was cautious at first, but subsequently increasing vocal citing suspicions, demanding probes. The probes are happening, the pilots detained and grilled. The Karnataka home ministry roped in. But today the airport director told us that she had no record of any incident at the airport whatsoever. All of this has now turned into a political conspiracy war. If the BJP feels the congress is making much ado about nothing, the Congress is only too happy to point to Anant Hegde's conspiracy theory. So what is going on, what's just an accident, what's something more sinister? Should we buy into the conspiracy theories or ignore them as poll time hyperbole for a bit of heroism and publicity? Let's try to unclog the whispers in the wind. Here first is what we know now.
