The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has informed that it would wait for the investigation report for the Mangalore air crash before commenting on this. It has also said that expatriate commanders who were operating the Indian aircraft have become the major issue of concern.

The BJP spokesperson Mr. Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said to the media that the party will wait till the DGCA's (Director General of Civil Aviation) report. He has said that the party will let the reasons of this mishap come first before going for any conclusion.

Mr. Rajiv Pratap Rudy as a trained pilot and the former civil aviation minister as well. He has revealed that his experience says this must have been caused due to technical flaws.

However, as per the survivors of this crash, this seems to be a case of human error. But according to Rudy, it won't be wise to comment before the reports come.

BJP president Mr. Nitin Gadkari, parliamentary party chairman Mr. L. K. Advani, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Mrs. Sushma Swaraj and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mr. Arun Jaitley had expressed their sympathy to the families who have lost their nears in this tragic mishap.
