New Delhi, June 4

The Ghaziabad Lok Sabha seat saw BJP’s candidate Atul Garg succeed former Union Minister VK Singh by securing a decisive victory by a margin of more than 3.36 lakh votes.

Garg got 8,54,170 votes, while Congress’ Dolly Sharma garnered 5,17,205 votes. The Bahujan Samaj Party’s Nand Kishor Pundir finished third with 79,525 votes, while the NOTA (none of the above) option was the fourth choice with 8,211 votes. There were 11 other candidates in the race, but none of them managed to secure even 2,000 votes.

Garg, a sitting MLA from Ghaziabad, was announced as the BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate on March 24, shortly after VK Singh declared he would not contest the parliamentary elections. Ghaziabad has been a BJP stronghold, which saw a voter turnout of 49.87 per cent on April 26.

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).
