Ravneet Singh Bittu Steps Down as Union Minister of State for Railways
Mumbai: Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu has tendered his resignation from the Union Council of Ministers. President Droupadi Murmu accepted the resignation with immediate effect following the advice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi under Clause (2) of Article 75 of the Constitution of India, according to an official communique released by Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The departure follows the conclusion of Bittu’s term in the Rajya Sabha on June 21.
