Minister Ravneet Bittu Gives Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann 48-Hour Ultimatum on Ludhiana's Doraha Railway Overbridge Project.
Ludhiana: Union minister of state for railways and food processing industries Ravneet Singh Bittu has given Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann 48 hours to approve a long-delayed railway overbridge in this city, escalating a political standoff over critical infrastructure in the state's industrial heartland. Bittu, speaking on Monday at a campaign event for the Ludhiana West assembly byelection, accused the Punjab govt of stalling the railway overbridge (ROB) project on the Doraha-Sahnewal stretch deliberately. He claimed the CM's office had withheld the required no-objection certificate (NOC) from the public works department for more than six months, despite repeated requests. "This overbridge is essential for easing congestion and improving connectivity in Ludhiana," Bittu told supporters in Ward 64's Rishi Nagar. "The railways is prepared to fully fund the ₹70 crore project, yet the Punjab govt refuses to cooperate. Despite several letters and direct communication, there has been no response from the CMO." Bittu warned that if the NOC was not granted within 48 hours, he will confront Mann directly. "These are not my demands — they are the people's demands," he said. "If the CM doesn't act, I will go to him personally and ask why Ludhiana's development is being held hostage to politics." The minister also accused Mann of presenting a misleading narrative on development. "On stage, he speaks of progress, but behind the scenes, he blocks key projects supported by the Centre. These double standards must be exposed," Bittu said. He called on voters to support BJP candidate Jiwan Gupta in the byelection, arguing that only a BJP-led govt could accelerate stalled infrastructure and ensure accountability. Bittu cited the Modi govt's record on national security, including Operation Sindhoor, as evidence of decisive leadership. Framing the bypoll as a pivotal moment for Punjab, Bittu urged party workers and residents to unite behind the BJP. "This election is not just about one seat," he said. "It's about development, dignity, and the dream of a stronger India." MSID:: 121754168 413 |

Stern action will be taken against those behind malicious campaign against capital Amaravati, says A.P. Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party (JSP) president K. Pawan Kalyan said on Sunday that the government would take stringent action as per law against those who unleashed a malicious campaign against the capital city of Amaravati and women who parted with their lands for its development. In a release, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said the derogatory comments made by journalist V.V.R. Krishnam Raju on Sakshi TV channel, and its news anchor and senior journalist Kommineni Srinivasa Rao were politically motivated and a part of a well -organised conspiracy. He suggested to the people to understand the intentions of the former Chief Minister, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and his media outlets. The 'outrageous statements' on the capital should not be considered as the opinion of a single individual, he said. The TV channel could not escape responsibility by claiming that the said comments were the personal views of Mr. Krishnam Raju, and pretending to respect women. 'These attempts to demean the capital region, which has a rich heritage, are reprehensible,' Mr. Pawan Kalyan said. He pointed out that the capital region had historical and spiritual significance, which was evident from the multiple inscriptions that date back to the Mauryan and Ikshvaku dynasties. Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsang had described this land as one where Buddhism flourished, and Acharya Nagarjuna tread the place, he added. 'How can anyone who has knowledge of these and other relevant facts make despicable comments on it?' Mr. Pawan Kalyan sought to know. He noted that 32% of those who had given their lands for Amaravati belonged to the SC/ST communities, 14% to the Backward Classes, 20% to the Reddy community, 18% to the Kamma community, 9% to the Kapu community, and 3% to the Muslim community.
