In a dramatic political shift, Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has lashed out at Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, accusing him of betraying the party by joining the BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

The move has sparked a heated exchange between Congress and BJP leaders, with Congress alleging Bittu's shift is an act of ingratitude given his political elevation by the Congress over the years.
