Mallya broke his silence as it was getting on a high level. He said Kingfisher Airlines has turned out to be a 'nightmare' and blamed government's adverse taxation policies and higher fuel prices for the business failure.

"The business (of Kingfisher Airlines) failed due to high fuel prices, due to adverse government policies by taxation and of course the failure of aviation engines, what started as the genuine business failure of Kingfisher Airlines, which was once known as the queen of the skies with the best-ever service and connectivity that India has seen, has now turned out to be a nightmare," Vijay Mallya said in video message to the shareholders at the 100th Annual General Meeting of United Breweries Holding.

Later he added,"I have been accused of stealing and siphoning off Rs 6,000 crore out of the Kingfisher Airlines without any legal basis, whatsoever."

"As its part of concerted efforts to make a poster boy of bad loans and financial crime, the government continues to attach properties and threaten other forms of action, all of which, I assure you, my dear friends, will be contested in the courts of law," Mallya concluded.

"The business is all about success and failure and it is unfortunate that only few select cases to all government agencies choose to ignore this very basic fact," he added.

This shows his concern and his views on his accusation on the matter.
