BJP Leader Ravneet Singh Bittu Alleges Attack on Convoy Ahead of Punjab Anti-Drug Yatra
BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu alleged that his convoy was attacked near Pathankot, Punjab, while en route to the launch of the party's 'Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra' against drug abuse. He claimed that individuals linked to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), including a local MLA named Sherry, orchestrated the attack involving eggs, tomatoes, and vehicle damage. Bittu called on the Punjab government to investigate and held Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the state DGP responsible for his safety. The BJP's campaign will cover all 117 Assembly constituencies, concluding with a rally addressed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
