After a 1500 crore bailout plan was made to save Jet airways, Vijay Mallya has tweeted that a similar bailout could have happened for Kingfisher as well and accused that the banks had lead to the closure of Kingfisher before seven years. He tweeted that he was happy to see PSU banks bailout Jet airways, saving jobs, connectivity and enterprise.

The fugitive businessman has been a part of a fraud and money laundering case, and has defaulted 9000 crores in loans taken for Kingfisher airlines. He also mentioned the banks to take his money and save Jet airways. He mentioned that he has placed liquid assets before the Karnataka high court to pay the PSU Banks, and offered that they could take the money to save Jet Airways.

Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal and his wife Anita Goyal had resigned on Monday, which lead to the bailout plan worth 1500 crores, and this was made to avoid the airlines getting bankrupt. Vijay Mallya who's in London currently has also announced repayment of 100% of the principal, and also added that Kingfisher employees must be paid first if the offer is accepted.
