Chandigarh, December 20

The Chandigarh Congress has filed a complaint with the State Election Commission against the BJP, stating that the party was “influencing voters flouting the rules.”

In a letter to the Commission on Monday, the Congress said: “The BJP, in order to influence the voters of Chandigarh, took out a vehicle rally with supporters carrying party flags in Sector 20 on December 19. Almost all bikers were without helmets and they were raising slogans and creating ruckus on city roads.”

A video grab of the rally has also been attached with the letter.

“Several BJP leaders also shared videos and photos of the rally on social media platforms. This is a clear violation of the model code of conduct,” the letter reads.

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).
