During the campaigning, Bittu’s videos of running away from a village in Ludhiana after facing farmers’ ire had gone viral. In another viral video, he was heard openly warning the protesting farmers that he “will see them after June 4” (the election result day). “Eh jehde kisaan ne eh tayaari kar lain jehde apne aap hu wadde samajhde hai.. ehna da ilaaj chaar tareek to baad karaange.. jhandiyaan lai ke khad jaane ho tey saanu rokde hon pindan vich jaan nu.. kalley kalley da hisaab karaange… koi rok nahi sakda Modi di sarkaar banan ton… tussi tamasha banaya Punjab da.. bande de putt ban jo..

Three-time Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu, the grandson of slain former Punjab chief minister and dyed-in-wool Congressman Beant Singh, lost by 20,942 votes in Ludhiana as Lok Sabha election results 2024 came out on Tuesday.
Rural rout
The Assembly segment-wise results indicate that the BJP faced a massive rout in two rural segments- Dakha and Jagraon- the epicentres of farmer protests. The BJP candidates across Punjab faced enormous opposition from farmers while campaigning in the villages. Farmers have been protesting against the BJP-led Centre for almost four years, demanding assured Minimum Support Price (MSP) on crops and other reforms”.

Modi juggernaut runs into Shambhu barrier: It was the BJP’s solo fight on all 13 seats – the first since 1996 without its old Akali ally. Its calculus was hinged as much on the Modi factor as tapping into the disenchantment with the Mann government. As part of a carefully-crafted Sikh outreach to expand itself beyond its traditional base among the urban Hindus, it grafted into its fold several Sikh faces, mostly the disgruntled Congress leaders, including Capt Amarinder Singh and Sunil Jakhar. Of 14 turncoats in fray, seven were BJP nominees. Yet, the party drew a blank. The saffron party’s worst ever showing in Punjab is attributable to perceived anti-minorityism, blowback of embers of farmers’ ferment and break-up of its alliance with Akalis. The Modi juggernaut, which in 2019 had lent wind to the party’s sails in Hindu-majority areas helping it win two seats, didn’t cross the Shambhu barrier this time. It’s last-ditch attempts at polarising the electorate on communal lines and consolidating the urban vote did succeed marginally as evident from a jump in its vote share to 18% from 6% in the 2022 assembly contest. But, a rural washout stymied the prospects of even its well-regarded Sikh candidates like Taranjit Singh Sandhu in Amritsar. The drubbing may force the party to rethink on its alliance dynamics to shed the tag of a political pariah in Punjab countryside.
