Venkaiah faces protesters' ire

NEW DELHI : The former BJP president, M. Venkaiah Naidu, on Thursday faced the ire of striking employees at the airport here. They deflated the tryes of his vehicle and tried to block him from entering the terminal. About a hundred protesters rushed towards Mr. Naidu's car as soon as it stopped in front of the domestic terminal at around 3 p.m. Sensing danger, the BJP leader rushed to the VIP terminal. The angry protestors, shouting anti-privatisation slogans, then deflated his car's tyres.

Earlier in the day, the former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, Ajit Jogi, also had a tough time when his car was stopped at the entrance by agitating workers.
