Lalu Prasad Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi will now board aircraft and alight from them at Patna airport like ordinary passengers. The Modi government on Friday withdrew the permission for the Yadav couples' vehicle driving up right up to the tarmac — near the step ladder of the aircraft — while flying in and out of Patna. "It has now been decided that the permission accorded to Shri Lalu Prasad Yadav and Smt Rabi Devi... may be withdrawn forthwith. BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) is accordingly requested to take immediate action to issue necessary instructions in this regard to all concerned," a letter issued by the aviation ministry on Friday says.
