The domestic airport was in the name of NTR and that continues to be so.there is nothing to speak on the issue and kindly do not make controversies on this issue’’Said Jaitley
As the explanation came from none other than union minister Arun Jailtey it was quite obvious that NTR name will be final for the domestic airport.
