HT interview: CM Mann has done me a favour by naming weak candidate, says BJP Ludhiana nominee Bittu

Hindustan Times  

Three-time member of Parliament and Bharatiya Janata Party’s Lok Sabha candidate from Ludhiana Ravneet Singh Bittu quipped that the Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann had favoured him by fielding a “weak” candidate from the seat. Targeting Congress leaders over their “betrayal remark”, Bittu said that his grandfather Beant Singh laid his life for the party and for the peace of Punjab, questioning of the Congress could return even 1% of the sacrifice. Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and Leader of opposition Partap Singh Bajwa have betrayed Congress leaders. Many local Congress leaders, including former cabinet ministers Bharat Bhushan Ashu, Rakesh Pandey, district Congress president Sanjay Talwar and former MLA Surinder Dawar had applied for the ticket, but both Warring and Bajwa “ignored them for their self-interests”.
