Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu today administered oath to five newly elected members of the House from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Odisha.

Those who took oath are YSRCP members Niranjan Reddy Sirgapoor and Ryaga Krishnaiah from Andhra Pradesh, TRS members Damodar Rao Divakonda and B Parthasaradhi Reddy from Telangana and BJD’s Niranjan Bishi from Odisha.

While Krishnaiah, Divakonda and Reddy took oath in Telugu, Sirgapoor did so in English. Bishi was elected to the Rajya Sabha to fill the casual vacancy caused due to resignation of Subhash Chandra Singh. He took oath in Oriya.

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).
