Harried Kingfisher Airlines employees to turn to Kejriwal for help

The grounded airline has over 500 employees in Delhi.  “We are all more hopeful from him as he is the one who works for common man unlike the two national parties who get elected with the common man's vote but forget them soon after the polls,” the employee said.

Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party won 28 seats in the Delhi assembly polls on the promises like 700 litre free water and 50 per cent reduction in electricity tariffs by way of rigorous scrutiny of the private discoms balance sheet by the CAG, besides rooting out corruption at both the government level as well as in the corporate.

Besides non-payment of salaries, the Vijay Mallya-owned private carrier, which stopped operations in October last year due to bad financial conditions, is saddled with huge debt and losses.

Besides defaulting on government taxes, the airline has not serviced its debt of over Rs 7,200 crore to lenders, mainly public sector banks since January 2011.  

Mallya in the Kingfisher Airlines' annual general meeting in Bangalore in September this year had said he was working towards the company's revival and was hopeful of getting an investor to fund the carrier within 90 days or more.
