Bengaluru: The chartered plane in which 10 dissident MLAs of the Congress and the JD(S) flew from here to Mumbai belongs to a company associated with Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a Rajya Sabha member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, company sources said here.
The plane belongs to Jupiter Capital Private Limited. Chandrasekhar is the founder and chairman of the company.
Admitting that the aircraft that ferried the MLAs belonged to Jupiter Capital, the company officials clarified that they were running a business and whoever wanted to use the plane could do so.
“It is a charter operation and the aircraft is chartered regularly by various people," a top official of the company told PTI requesting anonymity.
The officials refused to divulge the information as to who had booked the flight and on whose behalf.
