Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu Resigns to Focus on 2027 Punjab Assembly Elections
Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu resigned from his post following the end of his Rajya Sabha term, with President Droupadi Murmu accepting the resignation on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's advice. Bittu, a former Congress MP who joined the BJP in 2024, is expected to focus on the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, likely contesting from Ludhiana. The BJP aims to strengthen its position in Punjab, currently governed by the Aam Aadmi Party, and has ruled out alliances with the Shiromani Akali Dal. Bittu is anticipated to take on a key organizational role in the state party.
