After days of suspense, the Congress Party, followed by the AAP, has made the awaited announcements of their candidates for the Panchkula and Kalka Assembly seats.

The Congress named former Deputy CM Chander Mohan as its candidate for the Panchkula seat, while the AAP has fielded Prem Garg and OP Gujjar from the Panchkula and Kalka seats, respectively.

The Congress and the AAP were earlier holding talks to form an alliance. The talks, however, witnessed an unsuccessful end.

The Congress announced the list of 40 candidates late on Wednesday evening. The list included Chander Mohan’s name. But hours before the party’s announcement, Chander Mohan claimed he had been issued a ticket and would file the papers on Thursday.

Two hours after, the AAP named Prem Garg and OP Gujjar as its candidates for Panchkula and Kalka Assembly seats, respectively.

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).
