'''Devendra Pandey''' was an Indian politician affiliated with the [[Indian National Congress]], who served as a [[Member of Legislative Assembly]] (MLA) twice from [[Jaisinghpur (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Jaisinghpur Legislative Assembly]] from 1980 to 1985 and 1985 to 1989. He also served as the [[Uttar Pradesh]] State [[General Secretary]] of the [[Indian National Congress]].<ref name=nt>{{cite news |title=इंदिरा के लिए प्लेन हाईजैक करने वाले पूर्व विधायक देवेंद्र नहीं रहे |url=https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/state/uttar-pradesh/others/former-mla-devendra-did-not-have-a-plane-hijacking-for-indira/articleshow/60820083.cms |publisher=[[Navbharat Times]] |language=Hindi}}</ref> He died at 67 on September 23, 2017.<ref name=nt/>

He came into the limelight in 1978, when Pandey hijacked an Indian Airlines Flight 410, en-route on a domestic flight from [[Calcutta]] to [[Lucknow]] with the help of a toy gun in protest against the arrest of [[Indira Gandhi]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Indian Airlines Boeing 737 hijacking: A black political comedy |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19790115-indian-airlines-boeing-737-hijacking-a-black-political-comedy-821765-2014-12-09 |publisher=[[India Today]] |date=January 15, 1979}}</ref> In the plane hijack case, he was imprisoned in Lucknow jail for nine months and 28 days. Later, when the Congress government came to power, on the instructions of the then Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]], the government withdrew the case against him in 1980. Devendra Pandey was close to [[Indira Gandhi]] and [[Rajiv Gandhi]].<ref>{{cite news |title=इंदिरा, राजीव के करीबी रहे देवेंद्र पाण्डेय का निधन |url=https://www.amarujala.com/uttar-pradesh/sultanpur/x-mla-devendra-pandey-died |publisher=[[Amar Ujala]] |date=24 September 2017 |language=Hindi}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Not making this up: When Congress gave tickets to two brothers who hijacked a plane for Indira Gandhi |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/not-making-this-up-when-congress-gave-tickets-to-two-brothers-who-hijacked-a-plane-for-indira-gandhi |publisher=[[The Free Press Journal]] |date=July 10, 2020}}</ref>

After the [[death of Indira Gandhi]], [[Rajiv Gandhi]] also gave the assembly ticket to Devendra Pandey in 1985 and 1989. In 1985, Devendra again won the assembly, but in 1989 he lost the election.<ref name=nt/>
