LUDHIANA: Prominent Congress leader from Sahnewal in Punjab's Ludhiana district Satwinder Bitti has revolted after party denied ticket to her and instead Vikram Bajwa (son-in-law of former chief minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal) was fielded from the constituency.
Threatening to contest as an independent candidate, Bitti — also a known singer and former national level hockey player — without naming anyone levelled accusations that Congress has played into the hands of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and given its candidate a "walkover by fielding a weak candidate".
