My husband reacted as AI staffers insulted PM, says Sena MP's wife

March 25, 2017 16:45

Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad's unruly bhevaiour on Thursday has stunned his own kin as well. His wife Usha told Mumbai Mirror this was the first time that she witnessed his "violent side".

"I had never imagined my husband would be hitting somebody, like he did in Delhi. For the first time, his violent side has been seen and that was mostly because of the rude behavior by the airline staffers," she insisted.

"My husband has a fairly long experience in politics," Usha said. "He was an MLA for two terms and is now representing the Osmanabad constituency in the Lok Sabha. Teaching was his profession and he has been extremely popular in Osmanabad because of his friendly behaviour. Anyone who knows him personally would have not even imagined that he would be doing something like this," she said.

She claimed that her husband doesn't get angry at all. "Never in my life had I seen anger get the better of him. I called up him up after the incident around midnight and he said the Air India staffers were rude to him even when they knew that he was an MP," she said.

When reminded that no amount of provocation should have led to such goondaism, she said, "My husband wanted to do was register a complaint against Air India's poor service. But, instead of taking down his complaint, they kept on arguing. Finally, when they used the name of our prime minister disrespectfully, he lost his cool and hit the staffer."
