Unfair to call one-time loan defaulter a 'chor': Gadkari on Mallya
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said it's unfair to tag a "one-time loan defaulter Vijay Mallyaji" as a "chor" (thief). "For 40 years Mallya was regularly paying interest on loans. After entering the aviation sector, he started facing problems, and suddenly he became a chor (thief)...This mindset is not correct," Gadkari said. Mallya defaulted on loans worth â¹9,000 crore.
