Union Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries, Ravneet Singh Bittu, has strongly critiqued Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Bittu claims that fabricated cases are being manufactured against his associates.
In a bold public statement, Bittu challenged the Chief Minister, daring him to arrest him instead of targeting his relatives. Bittu mentioned two specific cases filed against Rajiv Raja in Ludhiana and Rajesh Atri in Patiala. Raja is accused of extortion, while Atri faces charges under the SC/ST Act, both allegedly following the directives of the Punjab government.
'Go Ahead, Arrest Me'
Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu accused the Punjab Police of being used as a tool to harass his supporters and family members. Bittu declared, 'I will come to your residence in Chandigarh after Parliament. Have the courage to face me or arrest me. Stop seeking revenge on the families of my associates.'
'Entrapped in False Cases'
Bittu continued, 'I hail from a family of martyrs and I fear no police case or arrest. I fight my battles directly and do not use force on innocent children or families.' He condemned the Punjab Police's repeated raids in cities like Patiala, Jagraon, Ferozepur, and Ludhiana, where his relatives are allegedly being entrapped in false cases.'
'Power Doesn’t Last Forever'
Bittu remarked, 'Power doesn't last forever, and one day the police officers engaged in these actions will turn against them and their families.' He delivered a stern warning to the Punjab Police, advising caution. He added, 'Governments come and go. What will happen when the BJP finally wins the electoral battle in Punjab?'
As the political landscape in Punjab heats up, Bittu’s fierce statements echo throughout the state, challenging the governance and spirit of justice. His powerful rhetoric and defiant stance attract significant attention, urging a reconsideration of current political strategies and alliances. The unfolding political drama is set to redefine the paradigms of leadership amidst Punjab's turbulent political climate.
Meanwhile, the residents of Punjab watch the unfolding events keenly, as the impact of such political maneuvering could ripple through their livelihoods. The upcoming days are poised to test the strength and will of its leaders, potentially setting the stage for broader changes across the political spectrum.
