While speaking in the Parliament, Congress MP Charanjit Channi said that Bittu’s grandfather actually died after Bittu left Congress.
Responding to Channi’s comment “Bittu Ji, your grandfather was a martyr, but he died when you left the Congress”, Ravneet Singh Bittu, a state minister in the NDA government, responded that his grandfather didn’t die for the Congress party, but for the nation.
Ravneet Bittu also said that Charanjit Channi is the richest person in Punjab and he should not talk about poverty, since he is worth thousands of Crores.
