New Delhi, June 30

Ahead of the assembly elections in Punjab next year, senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday claimed that the Congress, which is in power in the state, is no longer relevant for people.

Responding to a question on the Congress’s position in Punjab, he said the party does not enjoy the trust of the people anywhere in the country.

“The Congress does not have the trust of people anywhere in the country and there are reasons behind it, including the party’s leadership. Wherever the Congress had an opportunity to work, they just spent time fighting among themselves,” Sisodia said.

“So the Congress is no longer relevant for people,” he added.

Punjab assembly elections are going to be held in February or March next year. PTI

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).
