The Congress on Thursday released the first list of 21 candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. The party announced Sandeep Dikshit as its candidate from the New Delhi constituency, which is currently represented by AAP national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) chief Devendra Yadav has been fielded from the Badli constituency.

Senior leaders such as Anil Chaudhary from Patparganj, Ragini Nayak from Wazirpur, Abhishek Dutt from Kasturba Nagar, Mudit Agarwal from Chandni Chowk and Haroon Yousuf from Ballimaran are also in the first list.

The Congress has ruled out an alliance with any other party at this stage.

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).
