NEW DELHI: Punjab BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu has resigned from the post of Union Minister of State for Railway and Food Processing Industries. His tenure as a Rajya Sabha MP had already ended in June.
Bittu is likely to contest the assembly election in Punjab, due next year, sources said. He has been closely involved in preparing the BJP’s groundwork for a comeback next year in the border state held by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
“I express my heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu Ji and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji for giving me the opportunity to serve the nation as Minister of State in the Government of India,” Bittu said in a post on X.
