A special chartered flight carrying Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and several senior Congress leaders unexpectedly landed in Jaipur on Tuesday evening, instead of its scheduled destination, New Delhi. The aircraft, operated by a private airline, was en route to the national capital to facilitate the leaders' participation in a key political event. However, due to an apparent navigational or logistical error, the plane touched down at Jaipur International Airport around 6:30 PM IST, local sources confirmed.
Upon landing in Jaipur, the Congress delegation reportedly realized the mistake and immediately arranged alternative arrangements to proceed to Delhi. Sources close to the development stated that the confusion caused a delay of over two hours in their travel plans. Senior Congress leader and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who was also on board, was quoted as saying, "We were supposed to go to Delhi, but due to some technical or operational issue, we landed here. We are now arranging for another flight to take us to the capital." The exact cause of the diversion remains under investigation, with aviation authorities and the airline involved yet to release an official statement.
