Chandigarh/Bathinda, Jan 30

The Punjab Lok Congress’ (PLC) four candidates will now contest on the BJP symbol. Its Bathinda (Urban) candidate Raj Nambardar, today formally joined the BJP.

Besides Nambardar, other PLC leaders included Kamaldeep Saini (Kharar), Jagmohan Sharma (Ludhiana East), former SAD MLA Prem Mittal (Atam Nagar).

Nambardar said: “My supporters wanted me to contest on the lotus symbol. I took up the matter with Capt Amarinder, following which I got the go-ahead.” Nambardar said voters in the urban areas related more with the ‘lotus’ than ‘hockey and ball’ of the PLC. The BJP is contesting on 65 seats, PLC 37 and SAD(S) 15.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
