Chandigarh, August 17

Former Congress general secretary Sandeep Bhardwaj, along with about 40 former office-bearers who recently resigned from the party, will join the AAP here tomorrow.

“We left the Congress due to corruption issues involving some senior leaders. Under the BJP-ruled MC, there is already so much corruption. Thus, we, around 42-43 former office-bearers, are going to join AAP, which has done good work in Delhi,” said Bhardwaj.

“We will join the party in the presence of senior AAP leader Jarnail Singh tomorrow. We will work towards replicating the Delhi model here,” he added.

These leaders are considered close to former city Congress president Pardeep Chhabra, who joined AAP a few days ago. — TNS

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).
