Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday said Shri Nitin Gadkari should be given a second chance

Facing stiff resistance from his own party colleagues, the troubled president of Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) -- Nitin Gadkari -- has found support from ally Janata Party.

Subramanian Swamy backs Nitin Gadkari, says Congress behind BJP chief's troubles

In an interview to Headlines Today, Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday said Shri Nitin Gadkari should be given a second chance. He said Gadkari's offer for a fair probe was in sharp contrast to the Congress's opaque defence of Robert Vadra and Rahul Gandhi's alleged wrongdoings.

"Gadkari has asked to hold an inquiry, why is the government not doing it? It is a targeted attack on him," Swamy said defending his BJP counterpart.

"If I were a member of BJP, I would have raised the issue... What should Gadkari quit for and what would it achieve? Is it because they want him out and a more pliable person be brought in his place," he asked.

Swamy said Gadkari did not need to resign. On BJP Rajya Sabha member Ram Jethmalani's demand for Gadkari's resignation, Swamy said he was entitled to his view.

He accused the Congress of cooking up charges against Gadkari. "How can you ask him to quit before an inquiry," he asked.

Attacking Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh, Swamy said he should know it was a crime to hold back information. "He (Digvijaya) says he has information on Vajpayee's son-in-law and Advani's family. Is he holding it back so that he can blackmail," Swamy questioned.

Talking about his dispute with the Election Commission, he blamed it for not giving him a hearing. "When I raised the National Herald issue, it was after I had done due diligence. It is easy to doubt and accuse me of double standards... Election Commission should have given me a hearing. They practise double standards," Swamy said.

Kingfisher Airlines Limited needs to raise $1 billion by Nov 30: Chairman of State Bank of India

Dr Vijay Mallya Left with No Resources to Restart KFAL

Ailing Kingfisher Airlines Ltd needs to raise or commit at least $1 billion by November 30, the Chairman of State Bank of India told reporters on Wednesday, adding that lenders are not looking at liquidating the carrier's assets as of now.

The bank is the leader of a 17-bank consortium, which has lent about $1.4 billion to the debt-ridden carrier.

Kingfisher, once India's second-largest airline, has not flown since the start of October after a protest by employees, unpaid since March, turned violent.

Kingfisher's combined dues for Delhi and Hyderabad airports (both operated by GMR) are about Rs 75 crore. The GMR Group has filed suits over bounced cheques. "The entire overdue amount needs to be securitized before Kingfisher can fly again from these places," said the official.

Kingfisher does not have any hangar at the GMR-run airports. A number of its planes are parked in open at the old international terminal of IGI Airport like "Christmas trees". "The airline used to take whatever parts it needed from the parked planes to keep its skeletal fleet flying before October 1. That's why they were nicknamed Christmas trees," said sources.

Meanwhile, some Kingfisher employees did not get the second pay cheque they were promised before end of October. Kingfisher EVP Hitesh Patel wrote a mail to employees: "I have received many SMS and calls reference salary. I can assure you that the salary for ALL employees was paid yesterday (October 31) as committed, in fact the full salary from various banks was debited from the KFA account and confirmed by us yesterday evening so I expect the balance of the employees to get the SMS today as the banks processes the salary."

The Kingfisher lounge was the only lounge by an Indian carrier at T3 international side. Air India's lounge is not ready yet. Emirates and Lufthansa are the only two airlines with lounges. All other airlines use two common lounges for their business and first class passengers.
