Trouble In Punjab Congress? Ludhiana MP Meets PM Modi
NDTV
The Congress has been in considerable disarray in Punjab since the results of the elections were announced last month.
Ravneet Singh Bittu, the Congress's senior leader from Ludhiana, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi today in what is being seen as a precursor to his changing camp. Mr Bittu said the meeting was meant to discuss "Punjab issues". Sources close to him denied that he is joining BJP and said the Prime Minister wants him to fight with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab.

Mr Bittu -- seen more as a Hindu face of the party since the assassination of his grandfather, the former Chief Minister Beant Singh in 1995 -- had tweeted photographs of the meeting.
The terse caption accompanying the images read, "Today met the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Sh. @narendramodi ji and discussed issues of Punjab".
