London | Fugitive businessman and owner of now defunct Kingfisher Airlines Vijay Mallya accused the BJP of ignoring that he has been a UK citizen since 1992.
In a tweet, Vijay Mallya said, “Fact that I have been a UK resident since 1992 ignored. Suits the BJP to say I ran away.”
I humbly submit that my assertion that I am a poster boy is fully vindicated by the PM’s own statement about me (by name)that his Govt has recovered more than what I allegedly owe the Banks. Fact that I have been a UK resident since 1992 ignored. Suits the BJP to say I ran away.

Mallya said that Modi himself in his statements vindicated him being a ‘poster boy’ and that they received more than he owes.
He stated that he saw PM Modi’s interview with a news channel, in which he accepts that out of 9000 crores that Mallya owes the banks, they have attached 14000. He accused the BJP of targetting him in their speeches, even when the amount has been paid.
He tweeted,” Saw PM Modi’s interview in which he takes my name and says that even though I owe Rs 9000 crores to Banks, his Govt has attached my assets worth Rs 14,000 the highest authority has confirmed full recovery. Why do BJP spokesmen continue their rhetoric?”
