@MHariharan25 @midmadurai @YouTube @manickamtagore @SuVe4Madurai @MaduraiAirport He has been an MP for the last 7 years and hasn’t brought even one new flight — not a single one. Asking a Parliament question once a year cannot be projected as achievement.

[Mohamed Mustafa @Mirchi_Mustafa]

@MHariharan25 @midmadurai @YouTube @manickamtagore @SuVe4Madurai @MaduraiAirport I don’t see much to thank @manickamtagore. Occasional statements or one-off interventions haven’t resulted in even a single new flight for Madurai. Real impact would mean engaging airlines directly and pushing for actual connectivity.

[Mohamed Mustafa @Mirchi_Mustafa]

@manickamtagore @MHariharan25 @midmadurai @YouTube @SuVe4Madurai @MaduraiAirport Honestly, what has changed on the ground? No new flights, no meaningful capacity addition. Raising the issue once in a while isn’t enough — consistent follow-up is what Madurai airport needs.
