HYDERABAD:  It was a close shave for 185 passengers — including BJP leaders Eatala Rajender, MLA M Raghunandan Rao, former MP G Vivekanand and others — on board in a special flight from Delhi to Hyderabad after a major air mishap was averted at Delhi airport on Tuesday morning. 

All of them landed safely in the city. After Rajender and his follower induction into BJP on Monday, all the followers and BJP leaders have returned in an early morning flight.

 According to reports, the pilot aborted the take-off after noticing a technical glitch on the runway. After a delay of close to two hours, the flight was vectored off to Hyderabad safely bringing all the passengers. 

The former health minister received a rousing reception at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad. A huge convoy followed him to his residence at Shameerpet.
