India Plane Crash Kills at Least 8

LUCKNOW, India (AP) - A private plane carrying a leading lawmaker from the opposition Congress party crashed in heavy rain Sunday in India, killing the politician and seven other people, officials said.

The plane burst into flames after crashing in Manipur district, 190 miles southeast of New Delhi, said a police officer, K. K. Pande. Police found eight badly burned bodies, he said.

Officials said the victims included Madhavrao Scindia, the deputy leader of the Congress party faction in the Lok Sabha, India's lower parliament house. Four New Delhi-based journalists were also among the dead, as well as Scindia's aide, the pilot and co-pilot.

The plane was flying Scindia and the other passengers to Kanpur, an industrial town in Uttar Pradesh state, for a party rally, the Press Trust of India (news - web sites) reported.

Scindia, 56, served as a Cabinet minister during Congress party rule in 1980s and 1990s, holding the portfolios of civil aviation, human resources development and railways. He was a scion of the formerly princely Scindia family of Madya Pradesh state in central India.

The Press Trust said he was on his way to address a Congress party rally Sunday in Uttar Pradesh, where elections to the state assembly are scheduled to be held early next year.
