Punjab CM Manns prediction comes true as BJP denies Ravneet Bittu fresh Rajya Sabha term

Key points

• Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s claim, made through a tweet, that Ravneet Singh Bittu “would not be an MP soon” has proven accurate as Bittu faces a sudden change of fortunes.
• The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided not to renominate the Union Minister of State for a fresh Rajya Sabha term, marking a swift turn in his parliamentary journey.
• Mann had claimed on Wednesday that Bittu 'won't make it'.
• He had also gone a step further in his prediction, stating that Bittu “won’t remain a minister” either.
• With the BJP widely expected to carry out a Union cabinet reshuffle in the coming weeks, it remains to be seen whether this second claim also materialises.
