Three-time BJP MLA Vijender Gupta was elected as the new speaker in the first session of the 8^th Delhi Assembly on Monday.

The ruling BJP moved two motions—one by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and another by Cabinet minister Ravinder Indraj—for the Rohini MLA’s election.

The motions were seconded by ministers Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Parvesh Verma.

The motions were passed by a voice vote. The election was conducted by the pro tem speaker Arvinder Singh Lovely.

Following the election, the chief minister and the opposition leader escorted the new speaker to his chair.

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).
