Ludhiana West bypoll a litmus test for Ravneet Bittu
The high-stakes Ludhiana West bypoll is likely to be the first real test of the popularity of Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu after he secured a ministerial berth despite losing the Ludhiana Lok Sabha contest in 2024. Despite losing the contest, the BJP secured a significant psychological victory as Bittu led from the Assembly segment by 14,342 votes.
