Ludhiana, May 11, 2024: Ravneet Bittu, BJP candidate from Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat today alleged that the demand notice of house rent issued to him by the Commissioner of Ludhiana MC at midnight was a planned conspiracy to thwart his nomination process and put his life at risk.
He said AAP and Congress were hand in glove to stop his victory march.
"As already announced Ravneet Bittu has already shifted his stay to the BJP office in Dugri where he slept last night. He slept in an unfurnished room on the second floor of the BJP office with mattresses on the floor. Meanwhile, the house in question will be vacated by Sunday," read the press statement issued by his team.
Talking to media persons at the BJP office here, Bittu said that I was given this house because of the Z security threat perception to me. The security men have been dislocated now. If any untoward incident happens, the Punjab Chief Minister and Director General of Police Punjab would be directly responsible, he stated.
"I contested elections from the same house in 2017 and 2019 but no questions were raised. Now I have been directed to vacate the said house immediately. Since there is no place to live for my security personnel, it would pose a serious threat to my life," he said.
Bittu said that it seemed that certain powers wanted to end my political career and eliminate me physically. I have high threat perception and the gangsters and Khalistani elements had already issued threats to me.
He said that the AAP government was repeating the sequence of killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala whose security was withdrawn to make him easy target. He said that he was not afraid of sacrificing his life for Punjab like his late Grandfather Sardar Beant Singh.
Bittu said that he was served a rent recovery notice at midnight around 11.18 PM through WhatsApp and official email. I got NOC and no dues certificate from MC in the 2017 and 2019 elections.
"I was paying water and electricity bills regularly and in the past, no notice was issued stating that my possession is illegal", he added. He said that he had applied for NOC on May 2, 2024, but it was not issued till May 8 despite EC instructions to issue documents within 48 hours.
He said that the people of Ludhiana would give a befitting reply for this mischief. He said that AAP and Congress were scared as BJP was set to win the Ludhiana seat with a huge margin.
