India Today  

Following the Congress’s humiliating defeat in the recently concluded Punjab Assembly elections, the party again seems to be facing friction within the state unit. Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu hit out at Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and held him responsible for the party’s debacle in the polls. In a video shared on Facebook, Ravneet Singh Bittu said, “Leaders like him proved a suicide bomber for the party.” Blaming Navjot Singh Sidhu for the Congress’s defeat in Punjab polls, Ravneet Singh Bitty said,” It is the failure of the leaders. It never happened in the history that when the central leadership is seated on a stage, the state president refuses to address the people.” Referring to Sidhu as an "outsider", Ravneet Singh Bittu claimed that he sneaked into the party and is responsible for the debacle.
