I remember reading that Vijay Mallya had given up his Indian Citizenship to evade tax and secondly after he managed the Rajya Sabha nominations some of the MLA's of the Karnataka Assembly had also filed a memorandum against his candidature. All this is old story.
The truth is Captain Gopinath made it possible for people like me to fly. It was Air Deccan which changed the concept of flying for many of the Indian families.
Mallya will only be known for the flicked version of Pirelli calendar and the innumerable violations.On the other hand Gopinath and Air Deccan will always be remembered for a new concept of flying which gave majority of the Indians a chance to fly.
