BJP's Ravneet Bittu Detained After Waving Liquor Bottle, Eggs at Punjab CM Mann's Convoy
Bittu carried liquor, eggs and tomatoes to criticize the Punjab government after an alleged attack on his convoy, and police detained him.
- On Saturday, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ravneet Singh Bittu staged a protest outside Punjab Agricultural University in Ludhiana, carrying eggs, tomatoes, and liquor before police detained him ahead of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's arrival.
- Bittu's demonstration referenced an incident on Friday, where he alleged his cavalcade was targeted with eggs and tomatoes near Batala while traveling to Pathankot for the BJP's 'Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra,' claiming three individuals apprehended by security were linked to the Aam Aadmi Party.
- The Aam Aadmi Party denied involvement in the alleged attack, though Bittu accused the Punjab government and police of failing to prevent the confrontation, describing his protest items as a "gift" for the chief minister.
- Targeting national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Bittu remarked that the chief minister should enjoy his liquor and let Kejriwal run Punjab from Delhi, turning the demonstration into a pointed political gesture.
- These back-to-back incidents have heightened political exchanges in Punjab ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, as Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed farmers at the university regarding agriculture and stubble burning issues.
