Ravneet Singh Bittu resigns from the Union Council of Ministers and his resignation is accepted by President Droupadi Murmu. The resignation is reported as being made on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s advice, with officials not immediately specifying the reason. Bittu previously served as a Member of Parliament affiliated with the Congress before leaving the party earlier this year and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2024. He unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. Despite losing his election, Bittu is inducted as a Minister of State in June. Sources also describe his family background, noting that he is the grandson of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh. The resignation decision comes shortly after his ministerial induction and following his party switch from Congress to the BJP. Both outlets present the same core facts: Bittu steps down from the Union Council of Ministers, President Murmu accepts the resignation, and the stated rationale is not immediately disclosed.
