GANDHINAGAR: Known to seldom travel by commercial airlines, high flying chief minister Narendra Modi mainly flew aircraft owned or chartered by various private companies since 2003, his flights steadily increasing over each of the last five years.

Leader of opposition in the state assembly Arjun Modhvadia, who got this information from the state government using the Right to Information (RTI) Act, estimates that these companies spent around Rs 16 crore on the chief minister's flights.

Of the 100 flights that Modi took since 2003, 68 were in private aircraft owned or hired by Reliance, Adani and others. These companies and some other corporate houses also chartered planes from Poonawala Aviation, Futura Travels, Asia Aviation, AR Airways, Orient Flying School, Taj Air, Rain Air Services, Deccan Aviation and Planet Aviation for Modi. Between January and July this year, Modi flew 24 times on private aircraft, beating the records of all pre-vious years.

His trips this year to Japan and Switzerland with a bunch of industrialists were handled by Planet Aviation and organised by Adani. Modhvadia said: "No earlier chief minister of Gujarat has abused his powers to get such favours from the industry. Modi should, instead, have either used the state aircraft or commercial aircraft services like CMs of other states."

Going by official figures given by Modhvadia, Modi used the state aircraft only 10 times between January 2003 and July 2007, and flew commercial flight only thrice — to Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong and Australia.

Principal secretary in the CMO K Kailashnathan said as he was not dealing with the subject, he could not comment on it.
