In 2004, Rajib Pratap Rudy was involved in a major controversy, as civil aviation minister. Rudy was accused of asking the Airports Authority of India to pay for personal expenses incurred by him, in the course of holidaying with family at the Taj Exotica hotel in Goa, throwing a party at the Taj Palace Hotel in Delhi, and buying six paintings.  At the time, the Communist Party of India had

accused Rudy of "looting the exchequer", while the Congress Party had demanded Rudy's arrest. Rudy eventually settled the bills himself and denied wrongdoing.

In 2008, Bhutia was solicited to run with the Olympic torch in India, but he refused to carry the torch to show support for the Tibetan independence movement. "I sympathise with the Tibetan cause. I'm against violence but I thought I should stand by the Tibetan people in their fight," Bhutia said. He was the first Indian sportsman to refuse to carry the Olympic torch. His actions have

won him little praise from his colleagues in India however, who criticised him for mixing sports with politics
